Lyrics
Let me tell a little story 'bout my ex best friend
Reflecting on a past relationship with a close friend who is now an ex.
She was cute, but we were vibin' in the friend zone then
Describing the initial connection with the friend, but it remained platonic.
So we fall in love but it all went bad
Despite falling in love, the relationship took a negative turn.
Now I got myself an ex and an ex best friend
Expressing the aftermath of the failed romantic relationship and the lost friendship.
Let me tell a little story 'bout my ex best friend
Repeating the theme of reminiscing about the past relationship with the ex-best friend.
She was cute, but we were vibin' in the friend zone then
Reiterating the cute but friend-zoned nature of the initial connection.
So we fall in love but it all went bad
Recalling the transition from friendship to love and the subsequent problems.
Now I got myself an ex and an ex best friend
Highlighting the current status with both an ex and an ex-best friend.
Don't you fall in love, she'll be your ex best friend, mhm
Warning against falling in love to avoid the pain of losing a friend.
Don't you fall in love, she'll be your ex best friend
(Refrain)
We used to vent to each other
Describing the close relationship where they confided in each other.
Lots of texting and next thing you know I'm meeting your mother, oh yeah
Highlighting the deepening connection, including meeting the friend's mother.
I never meant to fall, to fall for you, for you
Admitting unintentional feelings of love.
Next thing you know I slip, I trip, I fall for you
Acknowledging a slip and falling for the friend.
When I think about the times we had
Reflecting on positive memories of the past relationship.
Knew I'd do anything to take it back
Expressing regret and a desire to undo past actions.
I never meant to fall, to fall for you, for you
Repeating the unintentional falling in love and regret.
Next thing you know I slip, I trip, I trip, I trip, I
Reiterating the idea of slipping and tripping in love.
But now it's over
Confirming the end of the relationship.
I done lost ya, but I need you back
Expressing the realization of losing the friend and the desire to reconcile.
I learned my lesson, can I have you back?
Acknowledging a lesson learned and a plea to get the friend back.
Let me tell a little story 'bout my ex best friend
(Repeating the earlier narrative of the past relationship.)
She was cute, but we were vibin' in the friend zone then
(Repeating the friend-zoned nature of the initial connection.)
So we fall in love but it all went bad
(Repeating the transition from friendship to love and the subsequent problems.)
Now I got myself an ex and an ex best friend
(Repeating the current status with both an ex and an ex-best friend.)
Let me tell a little story 'bout my ex best friend
(Repeating the theme of reminiscing about the past relationship with the ex-best friend.)
She was cute, but we were vibin' in the friend zone then
(Repeating the cute but friend-zoned nature of the initial connection.)
So we fall in love but it all went bad
(Repeating the transition from friendship to love and the subsequent problems.)
Now I got myself an ex and an ex best friend
(Repeating the current status with both an ex and an ex-best friend.)
Don't you fall in love, she'll be your ex best friend, mhm
Warning again against falling in love to avoid the pain of losing a friend.
Don't you fall in love, she'll be your ex best friend
(Refrain)
