[Intro, BANKS]
Set this bitch in motion
She's emotional
I ain't tryna make
This conversational
If she were really somethin'
She'd still have him though
Mmm
[Verse 1, BANKS]
Give it up, I done stole your love
You don't think he show me
When you hit him up
Honey cup, hate to see you stuck
Tryna make him jealous
He don't give a f... —
[Chorus, BANKS]
I hate your ex-girlfriend
I don't think that she's appropriate
Someone help her little basic face
And tell her that she's holdin' onto nothin'
I hate your ex-girlfriend
Obvious she ain't found someone yet
I'ma send some flowers to her ego
Then at least she walks away with somethin'
[Post-Chorus, Doechii]
I hate you bitches, I'm misogynistic
Mad at me, but I am not his misses
I hate you, hate you right now
Karma, karma for the ex-bitches
[Verse 2, Doechii]
I'm the ex-ho, X-rated
You want him, but I made him
Don't get put in a body bag
I get fucked up when I'm faded, huh
Put a toe tag on her like a French tip
Wrap a bow around your coffin
Like it's Christmas
You a sick ho, you should
Make a death wish
Scarlet letter, then I seal it
With a French kiss
Mwah
[Verse 3, BANKS]
Your ex-boyfriend can get it
I be with him 24/7
Heard you're tryna say you're over him
Until you let the alcohol set in
Your mouth still where his name lives
I know it's so frustrating
I stay in his mouth and
He can't keep me out of it like
Ooh, ah
[Chorus, BANKS + Doechii]
I hate your ex-girlfriend
I don't think that she's appropriate
Someone help her little basic face
And tell her that she's holdin' onto nothin'
(You want him, but I made him, huh)
I hate your ex-girlfriend
Obvious she ain't found someone yet
I'ma send some flowers to her ego
Then at least she walks away with somethin'
