Love is rare, life is strange   Nothing lasts, people change      Every time I lost another lover   I call up my old friend   And I say let's get together   I'm under the weather   Another love has come to an end      And she listens as I tell her my sad story   And wonders at my taste in friends   And we ponder why I do it   And the pain of getting through it   And she laughs and says, "You'll do it again"      But we sit in a bar and talk till two   'Bout life and love as old friends do   And tell each other what we've been through   Our love is rare, life is strange   Nothing lasts, people change      And I ask her if her life is ever lonely   And if she ever feels despair   And she says she's learn to love it   'Cause that's really all part of it   And it helps her feel the good time when they're there      Yes, we sit in a bar and talk till two   About life and love as old friends do   And tell each other what we've been through   Our love is rare, life is strange   Nothing lasts, people change      And we wander if I live with any lovers   Or spent my life alone   And the bartender is dozing   And it's getting time for closing   So we figured that I'll go out on my own      But we'll meet the year was '62   And travel the world as old friends do   And tell each other what we've been through   Our love is rare, life is strange   Nothing lasts, people change      Love is rare, life is strange   Nothing lasts, people change   Old friend
