Ad Frank - The World's Best Ex-Boyfriend lyrics

The song was a joy By the end of the chorus I was moved I was changed And I never got to hear the singer's name As I drove out of range She had to go See a few dozen things went wrong Though a thousand Others went right And I know now what it was I meant to say Instead of saying good night I'll be the world's best ex-boyfriend I will be sweet I will be gracious And the work I've done Will be built upon And talked about for ages Our love was a temple Our love was a brothel Our voices were despondent The deities wept Who watched me try to build a monument From the scraps that you left I'll be the world's best ex-boyfriend I will be gracious I will play dumb And the work I've done Will be built upon And discussed for years to come The song was a joy I've forgotten the chorus I've forgotten the verses In between Like the water that I toweled off me is gone but I am clean I am the world's best ex-boyfriend I am a saint I am a star And the work I've done Will be built upon And admired from afar And the work I've done Will be built upon And admired from afar I'll be the world's best ex-boyfriend I'll be the world's best ex-boyfriend I'll be the world's best ex-boyfriend I'll be the world's best ex-boyfriend I am the world's best ex-boyfriend I am the world's best ex-boyfriend I am the world's best ex-boyfriend I am the world's best ex-boyfriend
