From the recording The Ex-Boyfriend Song
Lyrics
<p>The Ex-Boyfriend Song (INTRO): Sisters, unite, be cautious If any of this seems familiar It's about more than a love gone wrong He's starving for affection Not prepared for rejection This is the Ex-Boyfriend song 1. He wandered the road between decency and deceit quite easily, armed with excuses He woke up one day without you to mistreat, then he was back in that long line of losers (PRE-CHORUS): But don't think you're safe, don't think it's over, 'til he's made an attempt to reconcile Change all your locks, get a new number 'cause he has not taken you off the speed-dial (CHORUS): Explanations, expectations experiences quite extreme Excitement enough for the rest of your life, Ex-boyfriends with tired, old schemes Hopin' to be, hopin' to be redeemed 2. He will show up on your doorstep one night With some wine and his toothbrush well hidden Don't listen to a word that comes out of his mouth Sentimentality is forbidden (PRE-CHORUS): 'Cause he had his shot at becoming your all And only became a disappointment Now he comes crawlin', beggin' and bawlin', Useful as a fly in the ointment (CHORUS REPEAT): Explanations, expectations experiences quite extreme Excitement enough for the rest of your life, Ex-boyfriends with tired, old schemes Hopin' to be, hopin' to be redeemed (BRIDGE): He always left the lid up the dishes by the bed Stretched the truth too far Got inside your head Seemed to think commitment was worse than being dead But this time, honey, you're the one who calls the shots instead, yeah (CHORUS REPEAT): Explanations, expectations experiences quite extreme Excitement enough for the rest of your life, Ex-boyfriends with tired, old schemes Hopin' to be, hopin' to be redeemed Redeemed Copyright © 2001 Ann-Marita Garsed.
