La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
If I told you how much I think about her
You'd think I was in love
And if you knew how much I looked at her pictures
You would think we're best friends
'Cause I know her star sign
I know her blood type
I've seen every movie she's been in and, oh God, she's beautiful
And I know you love her
And I know about her
But I can't help it, no, I can't help it
I'm so obsessed with your ex (Uh-huh)
I know she's been asleep on my side of your bed
And I can feel it
I'm starin' at her like I wanna get hurt
And I remember every detail you would ever tell me, so be careful, baby
I'm so obsessed with your ex, ah-ah-ah
Yeah, I'm so obsessed with your ex, ah-ah-ah
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
She's got those lips
She's got those hips
The life of every fu*king party
She's talented
She's good with kids
She even speaks kindly about me
Ha-ha
And I know you love me
And I know it's crazy
But every time you call my name, I think you mistake me for her
You both have moved on
You don't even talk
But I can't help it, I got issues, I can't help it, baby
I'm so obsessed with your ex
I know she's been asleep on my side in your bed
And I can feel her
I'm starin' at her and I wanna get hurt
And I remember every detail you would ever tell me, so be careful, baby
I'm so obsessed with your ex, ah-ah-ah
Yeah, I'm so obsessed with your ex, ah-ah-ah
Is she friends with your friends?
Is she good in bed?
Do you think about her? No? Fine, it doesn't matter, tell me
Is she easy-going? Ever controllin'?
World travelled? Well-read? Oh God, you make me so obsessed
I'm so obsessed with your ex (Ah-ah-ah)
She's been asleep on my side in your bed (Ah-ah-ah)
I'm so obsessed with your ex (Why'd you make me so obsessed? Ah-ah-ah)
I'm so obsessed with your, with your ex
