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      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've become a captive 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
