My Old Flame Lyrics

You'll be sorry in a little while, my friend
When your new love has come to an end
Let me warn you for heartaches to prepare
I know my friend ?cause my old flame is your new love affair

It hurts to see you take her from my side
And I know you think that she'll become your bride
But she'll break your heart and leave you standing there
I know my friend ?cause my old flame is your new love affair

It's so hard to know I'm just her used-to-be
And she's telling you the things she told to me
You'll be sorry that you ever learn to care
I know my friend ?cause my old flame is your new love affair

Now, you've become a captive of her charms
But love can grow so cold that once was warm
Then your romance will vanish in the air
I know my friend ?cause my old flame is your new love affair

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
