[Verse 1]
Yes, I know I'm late getting home tonight
Can supper wait, I guess I lost my appetite
Yeah you can fix me a drink, oh anything's okay
Oh, by the way I met a friend of yours today

[Verse 2]
I was working on the other side of town
And coming 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

[Verse 3]
I listened for a while and I could tell
That that stranger there he knew you much too well
And I introduced myself and you should have seen his face
Oh what a shame I met a friend of yours today

[Verse 4]
Please don't cry woman 'cause it's much too late for tears
Yeah, I'm sorry too 'cause it hurts after all these years
And aren’t it sad a love like ours should end this way
And all because I met a friend of yours today
