Ex Factor Lyrics by Don Burnham

I Dreamed Count Basie Was A Cowboy

2011

EX FACTOR c1998 Don Burnham (BMI) Words and Music
I took my new sweetie out dancin’ last night
We were huggin’ and kissin’ – she was squeezin’ me right
She was whisperin’ those sweet nothin’s – right in my ear
When I glanced up – and it was my worst fear
I looked up to see her ‘ex’ – back here
Rollin’ toward us like a John Deere tractor
He was steamed and he was one bad actor
I hadn’t figured in her EX FACTOR
He just glared at us awhile and he stood there in the door
Then he made a beeline straight across the floor
“Step aside, bucko!” was the last thing I heard
Before the music got fuzzy and my vision got blurred
I hadn’t figured-in her EX FACTOR
Now how could a jerk like that attract her?
He laid me out, and then that rascal snatched her
I hadn’t figured-in her EX FACTOR
I woke up this morning – I was all alone
Then I listened to the message that she left on my phone
“It was fun while it lasted – Oh, I’m so sorry, hon”
Well, too bad it lasted longer than it was fun
So she went on back to her EX FACTOR
I got a big old shiner and a nasty fracture
I learned a lesson, ‘cause I never asked her
I never figured in her EX FACTOR
You’d better figure in that EX FACTOR
You’d better ask her if he’s coming back here
'Cause if she’s on the rebound, it'll sure distract her
You’d better figure in that EX FACTOR
