Lyrics
You're sweet, (you're sweet) as a honeybee
But like a honeybee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left, (all you left) is our favourite 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 you've been gone
It's the same, same old song
But with a different meaning since you've been gone
(And it breaks me up to hear it)
Aah, oh aah, sentimental fool am I
To hear an 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
Saying together forever
Darling, breaking up never
It's the same old song, can't bear to hear it
But with a different meaning since you been gone
Oh, it hurts to hear it
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you've been gone
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Every time I hear our favourite song
Now you've gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce the happiness we spent
We used to dance to 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've been gone
Now, it's the same, same old song
But with a different meaning since you've been gone
I, oh I
Can't bear to hear it
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
(Ooh, it breaks me up to hear it)
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
