[Verse 1]
The music seemed to be so reminiscent
I knew I heard it somewhere before
I wracked my recollections as I listened
When suddenly I remembered once more

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
My new lovers all seem so tame
For I haven't met a gal
So magnificent, my only pal
As my old flame

[Verse 4]
I've met so many
Who have fascinating ways
A fascinating 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 her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
