Lyrics
My old flame
Reflecting on a past romantic interest
I can't even think of his name
Unable to recall the name of the old flame
But it's funny now and then
Occasional amusement at the memories
How my thoughts go flashing back again
Recollection of thoughts returning unexpectedly
To my old flame
Reference to the nostalgia of the old flame
My old flame
Reiteration of the presence of the old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
Comparing new lovers to the intensity of the old flame
For I haven't met a gent
No recent encounter with someone as innocent or elegant
So innocent or elegant
Expressing uniqueness of the old flame
As my old flame
Highlighting the impact of the old flame
I've met so many men
Encountering various men with interesting qualities
With fascinating ways
Noteworthy traits in the men met
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Describing captivating gaze and expressions
Some who sent me up to the skies
Alluding to experiences of intense emotions
But their attempts at love
Recognition that their love attempts fall short
Were only imitations of
Comparing unsuccessfully to the old flame
My old flame
Reiterating the significance of the old flame
I can't even think of his name
Reaffirming difficulty in remembering the name
But I'll never be the same
Permanent impact on the persona
Until I discover what became
Determination to find out what happened to the old flame
Of my old flame
I've met so many men
-With fascinating ways
-A fascinating gaze in their eyes
-Some who sent 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
