Hello old lovers, whoever you are
I hope your kids don't live with you
I hope your rheumatism isn't hurting tonight
I've had a pain or two

Be careful, old lovers, don't trip whatever you do
I've fell down the stairs a time or two
Keep Dreaming,old lovers, be sure to take every pill
Bob Dole can tell you what Viagra will do

Stay close,old lovers, or else you will get lost
I've asked for directions a time or two

Chorus

I know how it is to suddenly get ill
And stagger down the street in a trance

You walk down the street with a chance that you'll meet
A new lover not really by chance

Don't cry, old lovers, whatever you do
Don't cry because you are alone

All of my memories are happy tonight
I've got a new love of my own

I've had a love like yours
I'll call her if I have a dime for the phone
