I think you know, what I'm talkin' about
Let's not forget who walked out on who
I think you know, what I'm talkin' about
'Cause this old flame went out
In the darkness now
You call me collect, there ain't no doubt
You went to get cigarettes
In the darkness now
I think you know, what I'm talkin' about
This old flame went out
You never thought you'd be the one
What do you mean, how can I do this to you?
This old flame went out
I think you know, what I'm talkin' about
The operator won't let you talk at all
But tonight, you're gonna find out
This old flame went out
Oh, well it ain't nothin' new
That was last July, you didn't get home yet
And she said, "You want me to pay?"
You never thought you'd be the one
And now you expect me to hear you out
You never thought you'd be the one
This old flame went out
What these tears are all about
It fits right with my picture of you
This old flame went out
In the darkness now
