No
No no

Ex girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time that you found you a new man
He's moved on, don't you know, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
Ex girlfriend you don't listen (ex-girlfriend)
Stop trying, he's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go

Hey ex-girlfriend
It's too bad when you had him y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now so stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See our love is hot
And no, it won't stop 'cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you it doesn't seem to affect you
'Cause you just keep trying to get wit him

So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again

Ex girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time that you found you a new man
He's moved on, don't you know, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
Ex girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying, he's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go

Oh hey ex-girlfriend
Whatever your name is
I'm really not amused
'Cause the things you do
Are very offensive and sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calls and notes on his car
Won't get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want and he won't really care
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again

Ex girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time that you found you a new man
He's moved on, don't you know, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
Ex girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying, he's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go

I understand why (I understand why)
You want him back
But you don't know
Our love's too strong
For you to penetrate
It's too late
He's not your baby no more

Ex girlfriend
Ex girlfriend (it's tumbling down)
Ex girlfriend (ex girlfriend)
(Don't listen) Ex girlfriend
See I'm not gonna give in

Ex girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time that you found you a new man
He's moved on, don't you know, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go

Ex girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying, he's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
Ex girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time that you found you a new man
He's moved on, don't you know, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go

Ex girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying, he's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
Ex girlfriend you can't have him
It's about time that you found you a new man
He's moved on, don't you know, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
Ex girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying, he's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore, don't you know?
You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go (go)
