Lyrics

I never want to be your ex
consigned to days of yore
someone you once saw something in
that you don?t see no more

I couldn?t bear to toss and turn
while you?re off with someone new
and me become your used to be man
a fool that you once knew

I never wanna be your ex
someone with whom you used to have sex
who got swept aside when you cleared the decks
I never want to be your ex

I never want to be your ex
the object of your scorn
join the ill fated company
of tenderness outworn

so I prefer to do without
the pleasure of your thrall
that way when you?re not around
I wont miss you at all

I never want?..

I never want to say goodbye
strike out on my own
I want to be in love forever
and never have to be alone

so I?m not going to be that person
who takes what he can get
a piece of meat, when you needed a treat
the one whose name you forget

I never want?..
