Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man 
 I showed him all the things that he didn't understand, woah 
 And then I let him go 
 Now there's one in California who's been cursin' my name 
 'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK, hey-hey 
 Until I made my getaway 
    One, two, three, they gonna run back to me 
 'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep 
 One, two, three, they 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 ghosts 
 They want me to make 'em oh, oh, oh 
 They won't let go, ex's and oh's 
 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   
 One, two, three, they gonna run back to me 
 'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep 
 One, two, three, they 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 ghosts 
 They want me to make 'em oh, oh, oh 
 They won't let go 
 Ex's and oh's 
 Ex's and oh's
