I Met A Friend Of Yours Today

(Bob McDill - Wayland Holyfield)



Yes, I know I'm late gettin' home tonight

Can supper wait? I quess I lost my appetite.

Yeah, you can fix me a drink, and anything's okay

Oh by the way, I met a friend of yours today.



I was workin' on the other side of town

And comin' home I thought I'd stop and have a round

And in this bar I heard someone speak your name

And that's how I met a friend of yours today.



I listened for awhile and I could tell

That that stranger there, he knew you much to well

And I introduced myself

And man you should have seen his face

Oh what a shame, I met a friend of yours today.



Please don't cry woman 'cause it's much too late for tears

Yeah, and I'm sorry too 'cause it hurts after all these years

And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way

And all because I met a friend of yours today.



Ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way

And all because I met a friend of yours today...
