I guess, I should accept the call   But I really don't know what to say   The operator won't let you talk at all   And she said, "You want me to pay?"      Oh, well it ain't nothin' new   It fits right with my picture of you   But tonight, you're gonna find out   What these tears are all about      'Cause this old flame went out   You never thought you'd be the one   In the darkness now   I think you know, what I'm talkin' about   This old flame went out      You went to get cigarettes   That was last July, you didn't get home yet   And now you expect me to hear you out   You call me collect, there ain't no doubt      This old flame went out   You never thought you'd be the one   In the darkness now   I think you know, what I'm talkin' about   This old flame went out      What do you mean, how can I do this to you?   Let's not forget who walked out on who      This old flame went out   You never thought you'd be the one   In the darkness now   I think you know, what I'm talkin' about   This old flame went out      I think you know, what I'm talkin' about   This old flame went out
