LYRICS:
Well Reenad who lives out in Riyadh
says I won’t return her texts
and Miriam out in Dammam
says I owe her two rent checks
and Lina who lives in Medina
tries to sue me so I flee
they have cause–but we have laws–
so they won’t be chasing me
All my exes can’t drive Lexus
they’d be driving cars but they’re not allowed you see
No all my exes can’t drive Lexus
and that’s why I try to hide in Audis
Samira out in Ad-Diriyah
won’t hear her driver’s seatbelt click
and sweet Yasmeen, well, there’s TWO reasons
she can’t drive a stick
and Fatima in Qatif, uh, she
says I took her kabsah dish! It’s true.
And Leila who lives in Buraydah
says I stole her baba ghanoush (I think that’s what that means)
All my exes can’t drive Lexus
they’d be driving cars but they’re not allowed you see
No all my exes can’t drive Lexus
and that’s why I try to hide in Audis
In reverse, I know it
and our laws they show it…
that’s why I’m hiding in my Audi.
