Yes, I know I'm late, gettin' home tonight
Can supper wait, I guess I lost my appetite
Yeah, you fix me a drink, and anything's okay
Oh, by the way I met a friend of yours todayAnd I was workin' on the other side of town
And comin' home, I thought I'd stop and have the round
And in this bar, I heard someone speak your name
And that's how, I met a friend of yours todayI listened for awhile, and I could tell
At that stranger there, he knew you much too well
And I introduced myself, and then you should have seen his face
Oh what a shame, I met a friend of yours todayPlease don't cry woman, 'cause it's much too late for tears
Yeah an' 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
