| I’m singin' a new song
|
| About my old flame
|
| The one that left me all alone
|
| There was a time she loved me
|
| She used to kiss and hug me
|
| But she spread her wings and flew away from home
|
| When she told me
|
| That she was leavin'
|
| I should’ve known the worst was yet to come
|
| But she’s gone and met another
|
| And I’m tellin' you, oh brother
|
| Don’t turn your head too fast 'cause she’ll be gone
|
| I’m singin' a new song
|
| About my old flame
|
| The one that’s tellin' you goodbye
|
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
|
| That this was comin' for ya
|
| 'Cause she’s a bird who just learned how to fly
|
| When she told you
|
| She didn’t need you
|
| I bet you cried teardrops as big as mine
|
| And now it’s plain to see
|
| That you’re just the same as me
|
| She’s flown the coop and you’re just wastin' time
|
| I’m singin' a new song
|
| About my old flame
|
| The one who’s finally settled down
|
| She found a man she wants
|
| That she thinks that she can trust
|
| But he’s steppin' out on her all over town
|
| And when he told her
|
| He never loved her
|
| He turned her smile into a frown
|
| Now she’s drownin' in her tears
|
| While I’m grinnin' ear-to-ear
|
| He’s turned her honky tonk world upside down |
