That's the Way You Make an Ex
Love's Unconventional Lessons: Making an Ex the Chesnutt Way
Lyrics
I never claimed to know everything
I acknowledge that I don't know everything.
I ain't got no PHD
I don't have a PHD (academic degree).
But boys listen up when it comes to love
Pay attention, especially regarding love.
You can learn a thing or two from me
You can learn from my experiences in love.
I'm no expert on making love work
I lack expertise in making relationships successful.
I really can't tell you a lot
I can't offer much advice on the topic.
I don't know how to keep a woman around
I don't know how to maintain a long-term relationship.
But I sure know how to run one off
But I do know how to end one.
So listen to my words of no wisdom
My advice is not wise or helpful.
There's no secret to my lack of success
There's no secret to my lack of success in relationships.
Once she draws the line just cross it one time
If a line is drawn, cross it once, and the relationship ends.
That's the way you make an ex
That's the way to create an ex-partner.
I never could spell misery too well
I struggle with spelling "misery," but I know it ends with a "Y."
But I know it ends with a "Y"
A play on the word "misery" and its ending with "Y."
Why did I do what I did when I knew
Why did I act against my better judgment?
She'd get her half and half of what's mine
Knowing she would get a share of what's mine.
Takes more than luck to really mess up
It takes more than luck to ruin a relationship.
It don't just happen this way
Relationship failures don't just happen by chance.
It took sacrifice and all my ex-wives
It required sacrifices and divorces to reach my current state.
To get me where I am today
Reflecting on the impact of past relationships on his current life.
So listen to my words of no wisdom
My advice is not wise or helpful (repeated).
There's no secret to my lack of success
There's no secret to my lack of success in relationships (repeated).
Once she draws the line just cross it one time
If a line is drawn, cross it once, and the relationship ends (repeated).
That's the way you make an ex
That's the way to create an ex-partner (repeated).
