That's the Way You Make an Ex

Mark Chesnutt

I never claimed to know everything
I ain't got no PHD
But boys listen up when it comes to love
You can learn a thing or two from me

I'm no expert on making love work
I really can't tell you a lot
I don't know how to keep a woman around
But I sure know how to run one off

So listen to my words of no wisdom
There's no secret to my lack of success
Once she draws the line just cross it one time
That's the way you make an ex

I never could spell misery too well
But I know it ends with a "Y"
Why did I do what I did when I knew
She'd get her half and half of what's mine

Takes more than luck to really mess up
It don't just happen this way
It took sacrifice and all my ex-wives
To get me where I am today

So listen to my words of no wisdom
There's no secret to my lack of success
Once she draws the line just cross it one time
That's the way you make an ex
