“Ex to See” is the second track (and essentially the title track) on Sam Hunt’s premiere EP, X2C.
“Ex to See” is about a girl playing games with a guy—she’s using him to make her ex jealous. The wordplay of “ex to see” – “ecstasy” adds a deeper element to the song. Is he her ecstasy, or is making h...
[Verse 1]
Well, there ain't enough smoke in my eyes
To hide the kind of games you're tryna play
(Games you're tryna play)
Honey, don't you act so surprised
You know exactly what I'm 'bout to say
(What I'm 'bout to say)
You kiss my lips like you mean it, but you ain't that slick
[Chorus 1]
Everywhere we go, you keep lookin' around
Fixing your make-up like it's about to go down
And he walks in, it all makes sense
Suddenly you're climbing all up next to me, next to me
I ain't no fool, you rascal, you
You don't want me, you just want your ex to see, ex to see
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa, whoa, ooh
[Verse 2]
So that's why when I pick you up
You always want me to drive your car
So I can leave mine at your house
And he can wonder where you are
Well, you're right here, looking sexy, whispering in my ear
[Chorus 1]
Everywhere we go, you keep lookin' around
Fixing your make-up like it's about to go down
And he walks in, it all makes sense
Suddenly you're climbing all up next to me, next to me
I ain't no fool, you rascal you
You don't want me, you just want your ex to see, ex to see
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa, whoa, ooh
You, you, you just want your ex to see
I, I, you, you, you just want your ex to see
[Bridge]
Girl, you look kind of cute called out
You're making it hard to have hard feelings for you now
So hey, did he really do you wrong?
I guess I can play along
I guess I can play along
[Chorus 2]
And he walks in, it all makes sense to me
Suddenly you're climbing all up next to me, next to me
I ain't no fool, you rascal you
Girl, come here and kiss me, I just want your ex to see
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa, whoa, ooh
I just want your ex to see, ex to see, ex to see
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Ex to see)
Ooh, whoa, whoa (Ex to see)
Ooh, whoa, whoa, ooh
[Outro]
I just, I just, I just want your ex to see
I just, I just, I just want your ex to see
Girl, you look kind of cute called out
I just, I just, I just want your ex to see
I just want your ex, I just want your ex
I-I just want your ex, I just want your ex to see
