Ooh
I know that you
Treat me right
But still I think I gotta
Make you my next ex
I’m on to the next
And I think you’re nice
But I saw something else
I like
And I think I gotta
Make you my next ex
I’m on to the next
Ooh
Today when I wake up
You didn’t look the same
As last night
And it just don’t feel
Right anymore
I think
That we should break up
There’s no reason
To make up
I won’t fight
I’m just tired
And I need a change
Sorry boy but you’ve
Got me bored
And something
Catching my eye
I was only satisfied
For a little while
I gotta
Switch em out
Switch em out
Switch em out
Switch em out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Whoa, ooh
I know that you
Treat me right
But still I think I gotta
Make you my next ex
I’m on to the next
And I think you’re nice
But I saw something else
That I like
I really think I gotta
Make you my next ex
I’m one to the next
Ooh
You call me
Too frequently
I thought it was
So sweet
In the beginning
But now you’re too clingy
For me
You don’t put the
Seat down
You don’t clean the house
How I like it (trifling)
That’s reason enough
You’re time’s expired
Sorry boy but you’ve
Got me bored
I gotta move
Around
If I ain’t
Gotta ring by now
That means
I’m not tied down
I gotta
Switch em out
Switch em out
Switch em out
Switch em out
(Ooh, ooh)
Kick him out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Whoa, ooh
I know that you
Treat me right
But still I think I gotta
Make you my next ex
(Next ex)
I’m on to the next
(To the next)
And I think you’re nice
But I saw something else
That I like
I really think I gotta make you my next ex
I’m one to the next
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I gotta
Switch em out
Switch em out
Switch em out
Switch em out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Kick him out
Whoa ooh
I know that you
Treat me right
But still I think I gotta
Make you my next ex
(Ex)
I’m on to the next
And I think you’re nice
But still I’ve seen something else
That I like
I really think I gotta
Make you my next ex
I’m one to the next
Ooh
Moving On with Confidence
“Kick Him Out (Next Ex)” by Beyoncé is a bold anthem of self-assurance and emotional honesty. The lyrics capture the moment when a relationship no longer serves its purpose, even if there’s nothing explicitly wrong. Beyoncé’s protagonist recognizes her partner’s kindness but admits she needs change, highlighting the importance of personal growth and satisfaction. The song’s hook, “make you my next ex,” encapsulates the unapologetic decision to move forward and not settle for less than what genuinely excites her. The playful yet assertive tone empowers listeners to prioritize their own happiness.
Breaking Free from Comfort
Throughout the verses, Beyoncé details the subtle irritations and fading spark that signal it’s time to end things. From feeling bored to noticing her partner’s habits clash with her own, she addresses the everyday realities that can undermine a relationship. The repetition of “switch em out” and “kick him out” reinforces her agency and refusal to stay in unfulfilling situations. Ultimately, the track is an empowering message about embracing change and not fearing the single life when it’s the right choice.
