Ex’s and Oh’s by Elle King
Well,I had me a boy, turned himinto a man This is suggestingthat she is in control
I showed him all thethings that he didn't understand This is a sexual reference that she told him what to do
Whoa, and then I let him go Makingthe boy seem as if he is justrubbish.
Now, there's one in California who's been cursingmy name She is sayingshehas hatebut loves the attention
'CauseI found me a better lover in the UK Trying to make the ex jealous
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway She is tryingto hid and move away from these lovers
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me the run back suggest she is better than they will have
'CauseI'm the best baby that they never gotta keep She decided who she wanted
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me Again runningto her and her fake love
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave This is a sexual inference, shecan pleasethem in bed
Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me The x’s and o’s at the end of a letter… the exes aren’t getting any.
Like ghosts they want me to make 'em all They are likeghosts and followher
They won't let go They clingonto a relationship thatdoesn’t exist
Ex's and oh's Hugs and Kisses and goodbye
I had a summer lover down in New Orleans Namingspecific lovers thatshehas had
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring Itwas a seasonal affairthatmeant she kept him
My, my, how the seasons go by warm in the winter and ended it inspring
I get high,and I love to get low This can refer to her sex driveand how intense she likes things
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads justroll She has numerous lovers and breaks their hearts
You know that's how the story goes She is referringto general lifeand how people are
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me the run back suggest sheis better than they will have
'CauseI'm the best baby that they never gotta keep She decided who she wanted
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me Again runningto her and her fake love
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave This is a sexual inference, she can pleasethem in bed.
