We Can Never Light That Old Flame Again - Diana Ross

Never light that old flame again

No, not ever, no never

We just can’t fight it

We just can’t light it

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

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

We can ever light that old flame again

Never feel the same again

With warmed over love and leftover dreams

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

'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

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

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
