Something New Got Old
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY


(Wes Farrell & Bobby Hart)

Something new got old, something warm grew cold
Something right for oh, so long turned out so wrong

You don't have to say goodbye, I can read between the lines
Little things you say and do let me know I'm losing you
And when friends all ask about you just like friends will sometimes do
They wonder why you've gone away, the only thing I know to say is

Something new got old, something warm grew cold
Something right for oh, so long turned out so wrong

Girl, I've had my share of takers, go-between and promise breakers
Starting over where I landed always came up empty handed
Ah, but when it came to you, to me your kind of love was new
Happiness and always giving, something new to keep me living

Never thought you'd let me down
Always said you'd be around

Something new got old, something warm grew cold
[Repeat to fade]
