Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well
The look of the cake, it ain't
It ain't always the taste
My ex-girl, she had such
Such a beautiful face
I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl, so she could
So she could love herself
[Chorus]
Oh, my next girl
Will be nothing like my ex-girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
Oh, my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex-girl
It was a painful death
Now, I got a second chance, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh, her beautiful face and her
And her wicked ways
And I'm paying for her beautiful face
Everyday
All that work, over
Over so much time, if I
If I think too hard
I might lose my mind
[Chorus]
Oh, my next girl, yeah
Will be nothing like my ex-girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex-girl
That was a painful death and I
I got a second chance, yeah
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh
Oh, my next girl, yeah
Oh-oh
My next girl
