I called up that old friend of mine

Just to ask her how she's doin'

She must've changed her number

I guess it's for the best.

Ain't funny how it used to be

It used to be so right

All the world was a slow kiss and a fast car on a friday night

Everything that's on a memory gets lost on yesterday

And time is a river

It only runs one way.

She was my first everything

Oh and even then I knew it

I guess I always thought

That she'd come back around.

Ain't funny how it used to be

It used to be so right

All the world was a slow kiss and a fast car on a friday night

Everything that's on a memory gets lost on yesterday

And time is a river

It only runs one way.

Everybody knows things change

But they don't want it to

Nobody wants it to

I don't want it to.

Ain't funny how it used to be

It used to be so right

All the world was a slow kiss and a fast car on a friday night

Everything that's on a memory gets lost on yesterday

And time is a river

It only runs one way.

It only runs one way.

It only runs one way.

I called up that old friend of mine

Just to ask her how she's doin'.
