My ex-girl she had such a

Such a beautiful face

I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl so she could
So she could love herself

Chorus:
        C#m
Oh, my next girl
Will be nothing like my ex-girl
           E
I made mistakes back then
C#m
I'll never do it again
Oh, my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex-girl
It was a painful dance
Now I got a second chance, yeah

Oh, her beautiful face and her
And her wicked way
And I am paying for her beautiful face
Every day

All that work over
Over so much time, if I
If I think too hard
I might lose my mind

Chorus:
Oh, my next girl, yeah
Will be nothing like my ex-girl
I made mistakes back then
I never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex-girl
That was a painful dance
And I, I got a second chance, yeah

Oh no
Oh, my next girl
Yeah
My next girl
