[Verse 1]
That same old street, that same old corner
I pass every day, a-ha, a-ha, a-ha...
That same old sidewalk that I walk
When I'm walkin' on my way
Strange, someone had made a change
That same old bus bench, same old news stand
Was different on that day
Strange, all had been rearranged

[Chorus]
I found my someone with someone (someone new)
I know I'll never be the same (he has changed)
I thought I found true love, when I found you
Oh, but it has changed (it has changed), it's strange

[Verse 2]
I think there was smiles, I felt a chill
'Cause I saw something weird, a-ha, a-ha, a-ha...
It nearly broke my heart to see
A new love start, it was strange (strange)
I knew that'd be a change (I knew that'd be a change)
And when you looked at me, I looked at you
And how for me it changed (strange)
Strange, all had been rearranged

[Chorus]
I found my someone with someone (someone new)
I know I'll never be the same (it has changed)
I thought I found true love, when I found you
Oh, but it has changed (it has changed), it's strange

[Bridge]
The same old corner that I pass every day
It will never be the same
The same old corner that I pass every day
It will never be the same

[Chorus]
I found my someone with someone (someone new)
I know I ain't gonna ever, ever be the same, oh no (it has changed)
I thought I found true love, when I, when I found you
But oh, you've changed, it's changed (it has changed)
Everything changed, it's strange...

[Outro]
I found my someone with someone (someone new)
I knew I ain't gonna never, ever be the same (it has changed)
I thought I found true love, oh my darlin', when I found you
(But it has changed) no, no, no, you've changed
And it's all just changed...
I found my someone with someone
Somebody else (someone new)
I knew I ain't gonna never be the same (it has changed)
'Cause I thought I have found true love, baby...
