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 lonestar state
'Cause what happens next is you get kinda reckless
And you start forgetting the night that he left ya
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 deja 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 out of you
To heck with that necklace, 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 deja 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 out of 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 deja 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 out of you
They'll make a mess out of you
Mm mm mm mm
Well, they'll make a mess out of you
