"Ex Of All You See" lyrics - OLD 97'S

On my right hand it's plain to see
The work I've done, the miles on me
But on my left, a white ring's where
A gold one used to be
And oh yeah, she'll say goodbye
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, you'll surely be
The ex of all you see
Now I have known a Runaround Sue
Her hand was warm and mine to lose
She took my day my night my dawn
Then Runaround Sue was gone
And oh yeah she'll say goodbye
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, you'll surely be
The ex of all you see
In my voice you've surely heard
For all I've said, I have no words
The happy man, his robe and crown
The things that once were 'round
But a tough old bird you just can't kill
A smilin' man I'll be but still
A small white circle tells on me
For those with eyes to see
And oh yeah, she'll say goodbye
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, you'll surely be
The ex of all you see
Oh yeah, she'll say goodbye
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now you'll surely be
The ex of all you see
