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 is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
And it breaks me up to hear it
I, oh I

Sentimental fool, am I
To hear a old love song and wanna cry
But the melody keeps calling me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart
Saying together forever, breaking up never

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

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Every time I hear our favorite song
Now you're 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 through the music (make romance through the music)

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
Now it's the same old song (same old song)
But with a different meaning since you 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
