Lyrics of Sucks to Be My Ex by Ava Max
[Verse 1]
Stilettos Sharper Than A Knife, I’m In My Villain Era
I Might Not Make It Home Tonight (Ha)
My Hips Are Swingin’ Side To Side, These Girls Got Hearts Of Terror
They Hypnotize But They Don’t Lie (Ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
What Don’t Kill You Makes You Harder
Ooh, I’m Livin’ Proof (Livin’ Proof)
Now I’m Wilder, Freer, Younger, Blonder
Boy, I Look Good, But Boy, I Feel Bad For You
[Chorus]
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
‘Cause After Me, Where Do You Go Next?
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
Seeing Me Out, Dancing In This Dress
You Don’t Know What You Got ’til It’s Gone
Oh, What You Got ’til It’s Done
And I’m Doing Whatever I Want
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
After Me, Where Do You Go Next?
It Must Suck
[Verse 2]
Black Mary Smoking On The Wall, I’m Steamin’ Up The Windows
He’s Missin’ Me, I’m Missing Her Arms (Ha)
I’m Feeling, Feeling Myself, From My Hair Down To My Nails
There’s Brand-new Bitches On Bed (Ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
What Don’t Kill You Makes You Harder
Ooh, I’m Livin’ Proof (Livin’ Proof)
Now I’m Wilder Freer, Younger, Blonder
Boy, I Look Good, But Boy, I Feel Bad For You
[Chorus]
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
‘Cause After Me, Where Do You Go Next?
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
Seeing Me Out, Dancing In This Dress
You Don’t Know What You Got ’til It’s Gone
Oh, What You Got ’til It’s Done
And Now I’m Doing Whatever I Want
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
After Me, Where Do You Go Next?
[Bridge]
Hey, You Can’t Have My Lovin’
Oh, Can’t Have My Lovin’
You Can’t Have My Lovin’
No Way, No Way
You Can’t Have My Lovin’, No
[Chorus]
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
‘Cause After Me, Where Do You Go Next?
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
Seeing Me Out, Dancing In This Dress
You Don’t Know What You Got ’til It’s Gone
Oh, What You Got ’til It’s Done
And Now I’m Doing Whatever I Want
It Must Suck To Be My Ex
After Me, Where Do You Go Next?
It Must Suck
[Outro]
Yeah, It’s Over
Here’s Your Closure
Yeah, It’s Over
You’re Over And It Must Suck
