Lyrics
The Ex-Man by Tommy Patterson
He had childhood dreams of growing up to be an X-man
Seeking peace and justice to save the world disguised in a dark costume
Well, he grew up and fell in love with her-forgot about his childhood dreams
Now she's leaving him with a broken heart-in the irony it seems
Chorus:
He became the Ex-Man-He's the Ex-Man
His world is falling apart-He needs super human powers to win back her heart
Like an X-Man
He doesn't want to spend his life as her ex-man
He doesn't want to lose the girl who means the world to him
If he could acquire telepathic powers to communicate the way he feels
He'd win her back in his loving arms, but he don't possess the skills
Chorus:
Like a real X-Man-He's the Ex-Man
His world is falling apart-he needs superhuman powers to win back her heart
Like an X-man
He asks her not to turn away 'cause he's not a hero from a comic page
He doesn't want to be the Ex-Man... The Ex-Man... The Ex-Man
