Yes I know I'm late, gettin' home tonight Can supper wait I guess I've lost my appetite Yeah, you can fix me a drink and anything's okay Oh by the way, I met a friend of yours today I was working on the other side of town And come 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 I'd listen for a while and I could tell That, that stranger there he knew you much too well And I introduced myself and man you should've seen his face Oh what a shame, I met a friend of yours today Please don't cry woman, 'cause it's much too late for tears Yeah and 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 Repeat**
