[Verse 1: Hildegard von Blingin']
Now and then I think of when we were together
Eros surely hit the apple of mine eye
I believed thou wert right for me
But felt so lonely in thy company
But that was love and 'tis an ache I still remember

[Verse 2: Hildegard von Blingin']
One becomes enamoured with a certain kind of sadness
This resignation to the end, ever the end
When we found we could not make amends
Thou declared we would e'er be friends
But I concede that I was fain to be parted

[Chorus: Hildegard von Blingin']
Was there cause to cast me off?
Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing
In sooth I do not need thy love
But thou makest me a stranger and that feels so rough
Hadst thou need to stoop so low?
To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters
I need no longer write them though
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
[Bridge: Friar Funk]
I lament the many times that thou impugn'd my honour
But maintained it was ever something I had done
No more shall I live that way
Uncertain what thy words bewray
Thou said that if I were to go
I would not find thee pining for somebody whom thou used to know

[Chorus: Hildegard von Blingin' & Friar Funk]
Was there cause to cast me off?
Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing (Ooh)
In sooth I do not need thy love (Ooh)
But thou makest me stranger and that feels so rough (Ah)
Hadst thou need to stoop so low? (Ooh)
To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters (Ah)
I need no longer write them though (Ooh)
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know

[Outro: Hildegard von Blingin']
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now thou art somebody whom I used to know)
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now thou art somebody whom I used to know)
