I just called to thank you for turning me around   And showing me how love feels when it's right   You erased a memory my teardrops couldn't drown   When you put out an old flame last night      I never thought I'd find myself leaving her behind   But thanks to you, I finally see the light   'Cause I woke up this morning without her on my mind   You put out an old flame last night      It never even crossed my mind, finding someone else   'Cause I've been loving her 'most all my life   But you poured out more love to me than I have ever felt   When you put out an old flame last night      I never thought I'd find myself leaving her behind   But thanks to you, I finally see the light   'Cause I woke up this morning without her on my mind   You put out an old flame last night   Yes, you put out an old flame last night
