You're sweet (you're sweet),
As a honey bee.
But like a honey bee stings,
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you left (all you left),
Is our favorite song.
The one we danced to all night long.
It used to bring sweet memories,
(Sweet memories,)
Of a tender love that used to be.

Now, it's the same old song,
But with a different meaning,
Since a-you been gone.
Now, it's the same, same old song,
But with a different meaning,
(And it breaks me up to hear it.)
Since you been gone.

I, oh-oh, I, sentimental fool am I.
To hear a old love song and wanna cry.
But the melody keeps haunting me,
Reminding me how in love we used to be.

Keep hearing the part,
That used to touch our hearts,
Sayin' together forever,
Darling, breakin' up never.

It's the same old song,
(Can't bear to hear it.)
But with a different meaning,
Since you been gone.
It's the same old song,
But with a different meaning,
Since you been gone.

Precious memories keep a-lingering on,
Everytime I hear our favorite song.
Now you've gone left this emptiness,
I only reminisce the happiness we spent.

We used to dance on the music.
(We used to dance to the music.)
Make romance to the music.
(Make romance to the music.)

Now, it's the same old song,
But with a different meaning,
Since you been gone.
Now, it's the same, same old song,
But with a different meaning,
Since you been gone.

I, oh-oh, I, can't bear to hear it.
It's the same old song,
But with a different meaning,
(Ooo-ooo, it breaks me up to hear it.)
Since you been gone.
It's the same old song,
Fade.
But with a different meaning,
(Oh, can't bear to hear it.)
Since you been gone.
