"Don't Mess With Exes" lyrics

It ain't ever just textin', it's sendin' a message
Bigger than Texas, you know what it says
When you send it back late
And your heart's in a lone star state
'Cause what happens next is you get kinda reckless
And you start forgettin' the night that he left you
Down in Dallas, all alone
Girl, put down that phone

Don't mess with exes
No matter how bad you want to
Don't second-guess it
When that song gives you déjà vu
Go on and dust off your boots
Take a two-step or two with somebody new
Just whatever you do
Don't mess with exes
'Cause they'll make a mess outta you

To heck with that necklace, it's still 'round your neck
It's like you ain't learned your lesson, the way that it's hangin'
'Bove that heart he broke
He's a thorn in your desert rose, hell no

Don't mess with exes
No matter how bad you want to
Don't second-guess it
When that song gives you déjà vu
Go on and dust off your boots
Take a two-step or two with somebody new
Just whatever you do
Don't mess with exes
'Cause they'll make a mess outta you

Don't mess with "want you back"
Don't mess with "try again"
The next time that you think that next time might be different

Don't mess with exes
No matter how bad you want to
Don't second-guess it
When that song gives you déjà vu
Go on and dust off your boots
Take a two-step or two with somebody new
Just whatever you do
Don't mess with exes
'Cause they'll make a mess outta you

They'll make a mess outta you, mm-hmm
Yeah, they'll make a mess outta you
