It's The Same Old Song
KC and The Sunshine Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
A sentimental fool am I
to hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Line by Line Meaning
You're sweet as a honey bee
You are kind and delightful to be with
But like a honey bee stings
But your actions have brought me pain and hurt
You've gone and left my heart in pain
You have left me with a feeling of sadness and hurt in my heart
All you left is our favorite song
But all that you left behind was the song that we used to dance to
The one we danced to all night long
The song we used to dance to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
It used to remind me of happy moments of our relationship
Of a tender love that used to be
When we were in love with each other
Now it's the same old song
But now when I hear that song
But with a different meaning
It has a different significance
Since you been gone
Ever since you left me
A sentimental fool am I
I am a foolishly emotional person
to hear a old love song
Who gets emotional hearing an old love song
And wanna cry
And feel like shedding tears
But the melody keeps haunting me
But the tune keeps ringing in my mind
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Making me recollect the happier moments of our past relationship
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
I keep hearing the part of the song that touched my heart before
Saying together forever
The part that spoke of us being together forever
Breaking up never
The phrase 'breaking up never'
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Priceless recollections still remain
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Every time I hear our special song
Now you're gone
But now that you are gone
Left this emptiness
You have left behind an unfulfilled void
I only reminisce
All I can do now is to think about the past memories
The happiness we spent
And the time that we spent being happy with each other
We used to dance on the music
We danced to the rhythm of that song
Make romance through the music
And had romantic moments while it played
