Diana Ross — We Can Never Light That Old Flame Again

[INTRO] Never light that old flame again No, not ever, no never We just can't fight it We just can't light it [VERSE 1] When our friendship turned to love That's when the world turned on But when our love turned to friendship I knew the feelin' was gone Why keep clingin' to bits and pieces When all the time loneliness increases We both have to know when to let go [BRIDGE 1] But we talk and talk and lay awake The more we talk, the less we say There's no way, just ain't no way [Chorus] We can ever light that old flame again Never feel the same again With warmed over love and leftover dreams [VERSE 2] When our love was a ragin' fire We'd make love all night But now when we're makin' love We make love just to be polite We can't go back to where we've been Can never cross that bridge again But let's be glad for what we had [BRIDGE 2] 'Cause we took and took until it's all used up We can't drink from an empty cup It's all used up, it's all used up [Chorus] [BRIDGE 2] [Chorus] [VERSE 3] Life's too short to keep holdin' on We both know that the feeling's gone We keep clingin' to bits and pieces When all the time loneliness increases [AD LIB TO Chorus TO FADE] Ain't no way Ain't no way, baby Oh, there just ain't no way No, there just ain't no way That we could ever light that old flame again Never feel ever the same again With warmed over love and leftover dreams
