Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Loretta, broke my heart in a letter
She told me she was leavin' and her life would be better
Joan, broke it off over the phone
After the tone, she left me alone
Jan said she'd never ever see me again
When I saw her again, she said it again
Jan, met another man
[Verse 2]
Lisa got amnesia just forgot who I am
Felicity said there was no electricity
Emily, no chemistry
Fran, ran
Bruce turned out to be a man
Flo had to go, I couldn't go with the flow
Carol Brown just took a bus out of town
But I'm hopin' that you'll stick around
[Verse 3]
He doesn't cook or clean
He's not good boyfriend material
(Well, we can eat cereal)
You'll lose interest fast
His relationships never last
(Shut up, girlfriends from the past)
He says he'll do one thing
And then he goes and does another thing
Oh, who organized all of my ex-girlfriends
Into a choir, and got them to sing?
[Verse 4]
Who, who?
Shut up
Shut up girlfriends from the past
[Verse 5]
Mimi, will no longer see me
Britney, Britney hit me
Paula, Persephone, Stella, and Stephanie
There must be fifty ways that lovers have left me
Carol Brown just took a bus out of town
[Verse 6]
Love is a delicate thing
It could just float away on the breeze
He said the same thing to me
How can we ever know we've found the right person in this world?
He means he looks at other girls
Love is a mystery
It does not follow a rule
This guy is a fool
He'll always be a boy
He's a man who never grew up
I thought I told you to shut up
[Verse 7]
Mona, you told me you were in a coma
Tiffany, you said that you had an epiphany
Would you like a little cereal?
Who organized this choir of ex-girlfriends?
Was it you, Carol Brown?
Was it you, Carol Brown?
[Verse 8]
Carol Brown just took a bus out of town
But I'm hopin' that you'll stick around
Stick around, stick around
Stick around, stick around
