You'll be sorry in a little while my friend

When your new love has come to an end

Let me warn you for heartaches to prepare

I know my friend cause my old flame is your new love affair

It hurts to see you take her from my side

And I know you think that she'll become your bride

But she'll break your heart and leave you standing there

I know my friend cause my old flame is your new love affair

[ steel - fiddle ]

It's so hard to know I'm just her used to be

And she's telling you the things she told to me

You'll be sorry that you ever learn to care

I know my friend cause my old flame is your new love affair

Now you become a prisoner of her charms

But love can grow so cold that once was warm

Then your romance will vanish in the air

I know my friend cause my old flame is your new love affair
