Got a new house with new lumber
Even got a new phone number
Did it all since we broke apart
Got acquainted with new faces
Started going to new places
But I've got that same old
Hurt in my heart
Got a new suit for next Sunday
Got a new job starting Monday
Got everybody thinking I'm half smart
Got a new vocabulary
Even got a new canary
But I've got that same old
Hurt in my heart
No matter what I change
Same old hurt stays the same
Always there reminding me
That we're apart
Got a new wallet full of money
Got a new girl that calls me honey
But I've got that same old
Hurt in my heart
