Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man.
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand, whoa.
And then I let him go.

Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name,
'cause I found me a better lover in the U.K., hey hey,
until I made my getaway.

1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me,
'cause I'm the best baby that they never got to keep.
1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me.
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave.

Ex's and the oh-oh-oh's, they haunt me like gho-o-osts.
They want me to make 'em all-all-all.
They won't let go.
Ex's and oh's...

I had a summer lover down in New Orleans.
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring.
My, my, how the seasons go by.

I get high and I love to get low,
so the hearts keep breaking and the heads just roll.
You know, that's how the story goes.

1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me,
'cause I'm the best baby that they never got to keep.
1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me.
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave.

Ex's and the oh-oh-oh's, they haunt me like gho-o-osts.
They want me to make 'em all-all-all.
They won't let go.

My ex's and the oh-oh-oh's, they haunt me like gho-o-osts.
They want me to make 'em all-all-all.
They won't let go.
Ex's and oh's...

1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me,
climbin' over mountains and sailin' over seas.
1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me.
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave.

My ex's and the oh-oh-oh's, they haunt me like gho-o-osts.
They want me to make 'em all-all-all.
They won't let go.

Ex's and the oh-oh-oh's, they haunt me like gho-o-osts.
