[Intro: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Yeah baby, I don't want you to take this personal, what I'm about to say
(My ex)
Here in 1992 and 1993 about my ex
(My, my, my ex)
It's a personal thing between me and you
(My ex)
So I don't wanna hear nobody asking me why am I saying this sh...

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
My, my, my ex

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
I can't believe what they're telling me
That my ex-girl was living fantasies (My ex)
I'm feeling crazy 'cause I treated her so good
As good as anyone in the neighborhood
I should've known better 'causе they all told me
That therе were even more than two or three (My ex)
But I was so into, to myself
I wouldn't listen to no one else but…

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(I don't believe they tried to tell me that)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex)
[Post-Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba
My, my ex
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba
My, my, my ex

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Down the street, about two o'clock
I saw my brothers so, so I stopped (My ex)
They couldn't wait to talk to me
To put me up on the latest scene (My ex)
I just laughed 'cause I heard it all before
About my girl and the boy next door (My ex)
I paid her way through USC
But guess what? She was not down with me, they say…

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(I don't believe they tried to tell me that)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Well, well, well, they tried to tell me that)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(I don't believe they tried to tell me that my ex-girlfriend)
My ex-girlfriend is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(They tried to tell me that)
My ex-girlfriend (And I don't believe it) is a ho
(I don't believe it, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
My, my, my ex
My ex
[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Next time someone tries to give me advice
I'll take my time, think it over twice (My ex)
I played a sucker and I played a fool
Paying dues is the golden rule (My ex)
I'll chalk it up as a lesson learned
So next time around I won't burned 'cause…

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(I can't believe they tried to tell me that)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho

[Outro: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend
They tried to tell me that my, girlfriend
I don't believe, I don't believe, I don't believe it
I don't believe it, and I don't believe it
What they're telling me, I said I don't believe it
And I don't believe it, I don't believe it
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't believe it, oh oh
Everybody tried to tell me that my ex-girlfriend
And I can't believe they tried to tell me that my ex-girlfriend (Is a ho)
Oh, oh, oh, they said (my ex-girlfriend) girlfriend (Is a ho)
Oh baby (My ex-girlfriend), I don't believe what they're saying
I don't believe what they're saying (Is a ho)
I don't believe it, I don't believe it, ooh, I don't believe it
(My ex-girlfriend) Girlfriend (is a ho)
My ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my, my, my
(My ex-girlfriend) My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my (is a ho)
Listen, girl (My ex-girlfriend), they tell me that you're a ho, I don't know (is a ho)
Check it out, the milkman tried to tell me that
(My ex-girlfriend) Girlfriend (is a ho)
My ex, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
(My ex-girlfriend) My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my (is a ho)
