[Verse 1]
I had me a boy, turned him into a man
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
Yeah, and then I let him go
There’s one in California who's been cursin' my name
’Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
Yeah, and then I made my getaway

[Pre-Chorus 1]
One, two, three, they're gonna run back to me
Cause I'm the best baby that they ever got to keep
One, two, three, they're gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

[Chorus 1]
My ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they want me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em oh, oh, oh
They won't let go
Ex’s and oh’s

[Verse 2]
[? 1:06] 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
The hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
You know that's how the story goes
[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, they’re gonna run back to me
Cause I'm the best baby that they ever got to keep
One, two, three, they're gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

[Chorus 2]
My ex's and the oh, oh, oh’s they want me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em oh, oh, oh
They won't let go
Yeah, my ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they want me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em oh, oh, oh
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

[Outro]
One, two, three, they're gonna run back to me
Cause I'm the best baby that they ever got to keep
One, two, three, they're gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave
