[Instrumental]

[Intro: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
(My ex) 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)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
My, my, my ex

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
I can't believe what they're telling me
That my ex-girl was living fantasies
I'm feeling crazy 'cause I treated her so good
As good as anyone in the neighborhood
I should've known better 'cause they all told me
That there were even more than two or three
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 can't believe they tried to tell me that my ex)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) My ex
[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!]

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
Down the street, about two o'clock
I saw my brothers so, so I stopped
They couldn't wait to talk to me
To put me up on the latest scene
I just laughed 'cause I heard it all before
About my girl and the boy next door
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 can't believe they tried to tell me that)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) My ex

[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba
Shadadooda, bidow, shabbadabbadabbadoodaba
Shabbadabbadoodaba

[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)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(They tried to tell me that my)
My ex-girlfriend (Girlfriend) is a ho
(I don't believe, I don't believe, I don't believe it)
My ex-girlfriend (I can't believe it) is a ho
(And I don't believe it, what you're telling me)
