When you look at me
You're somewhere else
And all we know is all we've got

Left some things behind
Don't need your help
And all I know is all I've got

Go for sure

Are you even breathing?
I should have known better
So I'm gonna let your body go for sure
[Chorus]
If I was your ex-
Girlfriend
Ask you when you coming home (girlfriend)
If I was your ex-
Girlfriend
Call you on the telephone
Ask you when you coming home (girlfriend)
If I was your ex-
Girlfriend
Girlfriend
