Ex girlfriend - by Marcus Phillips and Shawn Drost

You really know how to pick 'em, I gotta hand it to you.
I'm not stealing your thunder, let's give credit where credit is due.
But you're a first quarter player, gotta work on the that follow through.
I'm here with your x-girlfriend, and I'm strumming your tune.

I was after her before you were. You two met after one of my shows.
Stereotypical groupie, all she wants is a song of her own.
But you would never write the lead line, it's meant to be instrumental you'd say.
So I'm working on your ex-girlfriend, and some words for a song that you taught me to play.

I always admired your ground work, gave you ideas to make it as good as it could be.
Wasn't out to make it strange for you and your old flame, but it's not like you haven't done the same to me.

So where have you been all this time? What, are you building up to some big surprise?
Or were you on your way running to beg and apologize?
And is it worse because I love her, 'cause I'm not just some random guy
picking her up on the rebound. Let's see now, who does that bring to mind?

It's been, what, like year now. Let's try to be fair, you know this isn't the simplest issue.
Most nights we just stay up and I get to listen to how much she still misses you.

I just can't do your fingering justice, and she's never gonna love me the way that she loved you.
I wish you'd just come back and unbreak her heart. We could make up some words. You can play the guitar.

We were practically best friends once. I guess not anymore.
I don't ask your forgiveness; There's probably none to ask for.
It's true nothing lasts forever, but who knows, some can last pretty long.
I'm here with my next girl friend, and I'm playing my new song
