My Ex-Boyfriend

YOU REMIND ME OF MY EX-BOYFRIEND.
I WON’T MENTION THAT HE WAS A SLOB.
YOU’RE MUCH CUTER AND YOU WEAR COOL SHIRTS.
I SHOULD TELL YOU BUT I FEEL SHY.

YOU REMIND ME OF MY EX-BOYFRIEND,
YET YOU ACTUALLY DO LIKE YOUR JOB.
YOU’VE GOT MANNERS AND YOU’RE A THINKER.
WANNA TELL YOU BUT I FEEL SHY.

I DON’T HAVE MANY FEMININE WILES--
LITTLE TRICKS LITTLE GIRLS
LEARN ON THEIR DADDY’S KNEE.
HE NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO ME.
OOH, BUT YOU DO.

SO WHY’M I THINKIN’ ‘BOUT MY EX-BOYFRIEND?
AM I WORRIED THAT I COULD GET HURT?
TRUSTING MY WOMAN’S INTUITION.
ALL IT TELLS ME IS I FEEL SHY.

I DON’T HAVE MANY FEMININE WILES--
LITTLE TRICKS LITTLE GIRLS
LEARN ON THEIR DADDY’S KNEE.
HE NEVER SHOWED AFFECTION TO ME.
OOH, BUT YOU DO.

NOW, YOU’RE KISSING MY CHEEK. I’M BLUSHING.
I GET RISKY AND SAY SOMETHING WILD:
“YOU REMIND ME OF MY NEXT BOYFRIEND.”
HEY, LOOK AT YOU SMILE.
YEAH, LOOK AT YOU SMILE.
