The Ex by The Dames Lyrics

Verse 1
Call you up excited
We’re talking now I’m delighted
Hate it when we’re fightin’
All I want is us united

Maybe your parents don’t see it
And I don’t wanna get them heated
I know it’s all deep seated
I promise I won’t mistreat it


Pre-chorus
(Ooo uh huh) how do I say don’t run away
(Ooo uh huh) whatever it takes I need you to stay
(Ooo uh huh) found me a life found me a wife
(Ooo uh huh) this time I’m not slippin'


Chorus
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex
I don’t wanna be a bittersweet memory
I don’t wanna see the end
I can’t bear the thought of going solo
Or sticking to my friends
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex

Verse 2
So many times I tried to
Repay the people that I cried to
You’re the one I retire to
My debts I said goodbye to


Alt-verse
Promise me this today
That you’ll hold my hand and understand baby
Nothing could compensate
If you ever left a hole in my chest


Chorus
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex
I don’t wanna be a bittersweet memory
I don’t wanna see the end
I can’t bear the thought of going solo
Or sticking to my friends
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex

Hook (4x)
La da
La da
La da da da
Da da da da


Chorus
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex
I don’t wanna be a bittersweet memory
I don’t wanna see the end
I can’t bear the thought of going solo
Or sticking to my friends
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex


Interlude (4x)

Chorus
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex
I don’t wanna be a bittersweet memory
I don’t wanna see the end
I can’t bear the thought of going solo
Or sticking to my friends
I don’t wanna be the one you’re missing
I don’t wanna be the ex

Hook (4x)
La da
La da
La da da da
Da da da da


Verse 3
Take my agenda
And put it with yours in a blender
I’ll be defender
As long as I play this fender
