Don’t Mess With Exes

It ain't ever just textin', it's sendin' a message

Bigger than Texas, you know what it says

When you send it back late

And your heart's in a lone star state

'Cause what happens next is you get kinda reckless

And you start forgettin' the night that he left you

Down in Dallas, all alone

Girl, put down that phone

Don't mess with exes

No matter how bad you want to

Don't second-guess it

When that song gives you déjà vu

Go on and dust off your boots

Take a two-step or two with somebody new

Just whatever you do

Don't mess with exes

'Cause they'll make a mess outta you

To heck with that necklace, it's still 'round your neck

It's like you ain't learned your lesson, the way that it's hangin'

'Bove that heart he broke

He's a thorn in your desert rose, hell no

Don't mess with exes

No matter how bad you want to

Don't second-guess it

When that song gives you déjà vu

Go on and dust off your boots

Take a two-step or two with somebody new

Just whatever you do

Don't mess with exes

'Cause they'll make a mess outta you

Don't mess with "want you back"

Don't mess with "try again"

The next time that you think that next time might be different

Don't mess with exes

No matter how bad you want to

Don't second-guess it

When that song gives you déjà vu

Go on and dust off your boots

Take a two-step or two with somebody new

Just whatever you do

Don't mess with exes

'Cause they'll make a mess outta you

They'll make a mess outta you, mm-hmm

Yeah, they'll make a mess outta you
