My old flame, I can't even think of her name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame, my new lover affair seems so tame
All I know I'll never meet
Any other sweety to compete
With my old flame
I've met so many who had facinatin' ways
A facinatin' gaze in their eyes
Some who took me up to the skies
But their attempts at love were only imitations of
My old flame, I can't even think of his name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became of
My old flame
