I had me a boy, turned him into a man
I showed him all the things he didn't understand
Oh, 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 make my getaway

1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me
Cause I'm the best baby that they never got to keep
1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna to leave

Ex's and oh's
They haunt me
Like gho-o-sts, they want me
To make them all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
Kept it warm in the winter, left them 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

1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me
'Cause I'm the best, baby, that they never got to keep
1-2-3, they're gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna to leave

My ex's and oh's
They haunt me
Like gho-o-sts, they want me
To make them all
They won't let go

My ex's and oh's
They haunt me
Like gho-o-sts, they want me
To make them all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

1-2-3, they gonna run back to me
Coming over mountains and sailing over seas
1-2-3, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come
But they never wanna leave

My ex's and oh's
They haunt me
Like gho-o-sts, they want me
To make them all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

My ex's and oh's
They haunt me
Like gho-o-sts, they want me
To make them all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's
