Lyrics Same Old Lang Syne - Backstreet Boys

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling, Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods (aah)
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me, and she spilled her purse (aah)
And we laughed until we cried

(Hmmmm)
Hmm, oh love
Ooh, love (aaah)

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment (aah)
As the conversation dragged

Hmm, we went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store (aah)
And we drank it in her car (ooh)

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man (aah)
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue (still as blue)
But in those eyes, I wasn't sure if I (aah)
Saw doubt or gratitude, yeah

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said, "The audience was heavenly" (aah)
"But the traveling was hell, yeah"

We drank a toast to innocence (ooh)
We drank a toast to now (now, oh)
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how, oh

We drank a toast to innocence (woo-oo)
We drank a toast to time (to time)
Reliving in our eloquence
Another old lang syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of old lang syne?
