Lyrics:

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
[ steel - fiddle ]
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 become a prisoner 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
