Yes I know I'm late, gettin' home tonight
Can supper wait I guess I've lost my appetite
Yeah, you can fix me a drink and anything's okay
Oh by the way, I met a friend of yours today
I was working on the other side of town
And come home I thought I'd stop and have a round
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name
And that's how, I met a friend of yours today
I'd listen for a while and I could tell
That, that stranger there he knew you much too well
And I introduced myself and man you should've seen his face
Oh what a shame, I met a friend of yours today
Please don't cry woman, 'cause it's much too late for tears
Yeah and I'm sorry too, 'cause it hurts after all these years
* *And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
* *And all because I met a friend of yours today
Repeat * *
