[Verse 1]
Well, the look of the cake, it ain't
It ain't always the taste
My ex girl she had, such a beautiful face
I wanted love, but not for myself
But for that girl so she could love herself

[Chorus]
Well my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful dance and I got a second chance

[Verse 2]
Oh, her beautiful face and her wicked way
Payin' for her beautiful face was everyday
All that work over, over so much time
If I think too hard I might lose my mind

[Chorus]
My next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful dance and I got a second chance
