[Verse 1]
You're sweet (you're sweet) as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left (all you left) is our favorite song
The one that we danced to all night long
It used to bring (ooh) sweet memories (memories)
Of a tender love that used to be
[Chorus]
Now it's the same old song
But it's a different meaning
Since you been gone
Now It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
[Verse 2]
Sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our hearts
Stay together forever darlin'
Breaking up never
[Chorus]
Now it's the same old song
Different meaning since you been gone
Now It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
(Reach out)
Come on, girl
Reach out for me
(Reach out)
Reach out for me baby
Now if you feel like you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumbling down
Well darlin'
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out) Reach out for me
I'll be there with a love that'll shelter you
I'll be there with a love that'll see you through
When you're feeling lost and about to give up
'Cause your life just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're drifting out on your own
And you need somebody's hand to hold, darlin'
(Reach out) Reach out, reach out for me baby
(Reach out) Reach out
I'll be there to love and to comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
Oh, and I'll be there to always see you through
And I'll, I'll be there for you, baby, just look over your shoulder, oh...
You're sweet (you're sweet) as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left (all you left) is our favorite song
The one that we danced to all night long
It used to bring (ooh) sweet memories (memories)
Of a tender love that used to be
[Chorus]
Now it's the same old song
But it's a different meaning
Since you been gone
Now It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
[Verse 2]
Sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our hearts
Stay together forever darlin'
Breaking up never
[Chorus]
Now it's the same old song
Different meaning since you been gone
Now It's the same old song
But with a different meaning

Come on, girl
Reach out for me
(Reach out)
Reach out for me baby
Now if you feel like you can't go on

(Reach out) Reach out for me
