Old 97's The Ex of All You See lyrics

On my right hand it's plain to see

the work I've done, the miles on me

but on my left, a white ring's where

a gold one used to be



and oh yeah, she'll say goodbye

as you are now, so once was I

as I am now, you'll surely be

the ex of all you see



Now I have known a Runaround Sue

her hand was warm and mine to lose

she took my day my night my dawn

then Runaround Sue was gone



and oh yeah she'll say goodbye

as you are now, so once was I

as I am now, you'll surely be

the ex of all you see




in my voice you've surely heard

for all I've said, I have no words

the happy man, his robe and crown

the things that once were ‘round



but a tough old bird you just can't kill

a smilin' man I'll be but still

a small white circle tells on me

for those with eyes to see



and oh yeah, she'll say goodbye

as you are now, so once was I

as I am now, you'll surely be

the ex of all you see



oh yeah, she'll say goodbye

as you are now, so once was I

as I am now you'll surely be

the ex of all you see
