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 it 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 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'll come back around

Ain't it 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 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 oh

Ain't it 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 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'
