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 today      And 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 today      I 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 today      Please 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      Ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way?   And all because I met a friend of yours today
