Lyrics
My Next Ex Words and Music by:
Bruce Garnitz and Elle Spencer- Lewis
I can see the future baby
But I can't read your mind
I'm superstitious maybe
For believing you'll be mine
If words cannot be trusted
I'll take your smile as a yes
A premonition that you'll love me
But most likely you're ... My Next Ex
I thought I had a future planned
More than once before
And many times I've been scammed
By a ruthless conspirator
A crystal ball could help me see
If there's more to this than sex
Can I say "hello" to love
Or is it "goodbye"...My Next Ex
Will the stars re-align...Will they tell me it's my time
For a sweet "ever after"...I'd give everything
Solo
Can I feel what you feel... Can I breathe with your breath
For only a moment... I'd give anything
I've walked away too easily
My heart repossessed
You tell me that there's more to learn
From love than loneliness
If everything you say is true
I'll believe you and confess
The words you whisper touch my soul
You won't be... My Next Ex

My Next Ex, Don't be my next,
Don't be my next,
Don't be my next...
My Next Ex, If you are -
Let me save us the time
and trouble and pain of a messy break up...
Let me write you a check right here,
right now...
Take my house, Take the car...
Take my favorite guitar
But just in case you really are the real deal, my one and only,
my destined true love...
Honey, Don't be my next,
Don't be my next... My Next Ex!
