[Verse 1] Yes, I know I'm late getting home tonight Can supper wait, I guess I lost my appetite Yeah you can fix me a drink, oh anything's okay Oh, by the way I met a friend of yours today [Verse 2] I was working on the other side of town And coming 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 [Verse 3] I listened for a while and I could tell That that stranger there he knew you much too well And I introduced myself and you should have seen his face Oh what a shame I met a friend of yours today [Verse 4] Please don't cry woman 'cause it's much too late for tears Yeah, I'm sorry too 'cause it hurts after all these years And aren't it sad a love like ours should end this way And all because I met a friend of yours today
