Loretta broke my heart in a letter
she told me she was leaving and her life would be better.
Joan broke it off over the phone
after the tone, she left me alone.

Liza got amnesia just forgot who I am.
Felicity said there was no electricity,
Emily, no chemistry.

Flo had to go I couldn't go with the flow.

He doesn't cook or clean, he's not good boyfriend material
(Ooh, we can eat cereal)
You'll lose interest fast, his relationships never last
(Shut up girlfriends from the past)
He says he'll do one thing and then he goes and does another thing
(Oh, who organized all of my ex-girlfriends into a choir, and got them to
sing?)
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Who, who... Mm, shut up)
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah.
(Shut up girlfriends from the past)
Verse 2

Minnie will no longer see me.
Britney, Britney hit me.
Paula, Persephone, Stella, and Stephanie,

Love is a delicate thing, it could just float away on the breeze
(He said the same thing to me)
How can we ever know we've found the right person in this world?
(He means he looks at other girls)
Love is a mystery that does not follow a rule
(This guy is a fool)
He'll always be a boy, he's a man who never grew up
(I thought I told you to shut up)
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Mona, you told me you were in a coma)
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Tiffany you said that you had an epiphany)
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Mm, would you like a little cereal?)
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Who organized this choir of ex-girlfriends, was it you Carol Brown, was it you Carol Brown?)
Chorus

stick around
Do do, do do do do do do
Stick around
Do do, do do do do
Do do, do do do do do do
Stick around
Do do, do do do do
Stick around
