Lyrics

[Intro]
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 nobody ask me why am I sayin' this sh-
[Chorus]
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
My, my, my ex
[Verse 1]
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 should've 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
[Chorus]
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
And I don't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex
My, my, my ex
[Bridge]
Yeah, what a long day, and a long night, too
My, my ex
My, my, my ex
[Verse 2]
Down the street, about 2:00
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
[Chorus]
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
I don't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
Oh, oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
Well, well, well
They tried to tell me that my ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
Hit it
[Bridge]
My ex
My ex
[Verse 3]
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 get burned 'cause
[Chorus]
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
I can't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't believe it
My ex
And I can't believe they tried to tell me that
My ex-girlfriend is a ho
Oh, oh, oh, they say my ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
Oh, baby
My ex-girlfriend is a ho
I don't believe what you're saying, I don't believe what you're saying
I don't believe it, I don't believe it, ooh, I don't believe it
My ex-girlfriend, girlfriend is a ho
My ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my ex, my, my, my
