🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

You’re sweet as a honey beeBut like a honey bee stingsYou’ve gone and left my heart in painAll you left is our favorite songThe one we danced to all night longIt used to bring sweet memoriesOf a tender love that used to be
Now it’s the same old songBut with a different meaning since you been goneNow it’s the same old songBut with a different meaning since you been goneAnd it breaks me up to hear itI, oh I
Sentimental fool, am ITo hear a old love song and wanna cryBut the melody keeps calling meReminding me how in love we used to beKeep hearing the part that used to touch our heartSaying together forever, breaking up never
Can’t bear to hear it(But with a different meaning since you been gone) Since you’ve been goneBut it’s the same old songBut with a different meaning since you been gone
Precious memories keep a lingering onEvery time I hear our favorite songNow you’re gone, left this emptinessI only reminisce the happiness we spentWe 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 songBut with a different meaning since you been goneNow it’s the same old song (same old song)But with a different meaning since you been goneI, oh I can’t bear to hear it
It’s the same old songBut with a different meaning since you been goneOoh, it breaks me up to hear itIt’s the same old song but with a different meaning
