Everytime Ive lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And say lets get together
Im under the weather
Another love has suddenly come to an end
And he listens as I tell him my sad story
And wonders at my taste in men
And we wonder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And he laughs and says: "Youll do it again !"
And we sit in a bar and talk till two
Bout life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what weve been through
How love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
And I ask him if his life is ever lonely
And if he ever feels despair
And he says hes learned to love it
Cause thats really a part of it
And it helps him feel the good times when theyre there

And we wonder if Ill live with any lover
Or spend my life alone
And the bartender is dozing
And its getting time for closing
So we figure that Ill make it on my own

But well meet the year were sixty-two
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what weve been through
How love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
