My Ex-Girlfriend

(album: Sons Of Soul - 1993)

Yeah, baby, I don't want you to take this personal, what I'm about to say
Here in 1992 and 1993 about my ex
It's a personal thing between me and you
I don't wanna hear no else say why am I saying this sh…

My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
My, my, my ex

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 shoulda known better 'cause they all told me
That there were even more than two or three (my ex)
By I was so into, to myself
I wouldn't listen to no one else but…

My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
And I don't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my, my, my ex

Yeah, what a long day, and a long night too (my, my ex…my, my ex)

Down the street, about 2 o'clock
I saw my brother 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…

My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
I don't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
They tried to tell me that my ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
(Hit it…)

[scatting]

Next time someone tries to give me advice
I'll take my time, think it over twice (my ex)
I played sucker and I played a fool
See, 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…

My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
I can't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't believe it

[scatting with flute]

And I can't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend is a hoe
Oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
Oh baby, my ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
I don't believe it, I don't believe, ooh, I don't believe it
My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
My ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my, my, my…
My ex-girlfriend (girlfriend) is a hoe
