That's The Way You Make An Ex (Album Version) - Mark Chesnutt

Written by：Tony Martin/Reese Wilson/Roger Kent Springer/Roger Springer

I never claimed

To know everything

I ain't got no P H D

But boys listen up

When it comes to love

You can learn a thing or two from me

I'm no expert

On makin' love work

I really can't tell you a lot

I don't know how

Keep a woman around

But I sure know how to run one off

So listen to my words of no wisdom

There's no secret to my lack of success

Once she draws the line

Just cross it one time

That's the way you make an ex

I never could spell

Misery to well

But I know it ends with A Y

Why did I do

What I did when I knew

She'd get her half and half of what's mine

Takes more than luck to really mess up

It don't just happen this way

It took sacrifice

And all my ex wives

To get me where I am today

So listen to my words of no wisdom

There's no secret to my lack of success

Once she draws the line

Just cross it one time

That's the way you make an ex

Yea ho

Yeah once she draws the line

Just cross it one time

That's the way you make an ex

Yeah that's the way you make an ex

Well that's the way you make an ex
