This is a nice song - a good melody and strong lyrics. Of course, with your voice, you can make anything sound good.

The cadence in a few of the lines could be improved: For example

- he got upset when I mentioned you (just needs slightly differenct emphasis on the words)

- I guess old habits don’t always die hard (cadence is forced)

So many of the lines are excellent. My favorites are:

- who’s it gonna be between you guys
but there ain’t left nothing to decide

- funny thing, as he was standing there
I caught myself starting to compare
And I aint saying that he’s ugly cause he’s not
But next to you my old flame just ain’t so hot

I also think it might be effective if you pick up the tempo a little as the song progresses. I think, as an alternate, fuller instrumentation could be used to add some more variety to the song as it progresses.

It is a very nice song with a good hook.
