I saw John at the Texaco
He was getting his pack of smokes
It was short, didn't talk too much
But long enough to catch me up
I could tell he was holding back
I couldn't help it, I had to ask
After all, he's your best friend
But I kinda wish he didn't fill me in

I heard you're happy, is it true, love?
I heard you cut your long hair, is it true, love?
I never thought that it was really goodbye
We said forever, baby, maybe that's why
It hit me right out of the blue
When I heard you found somebody new
Is it true, love?
Is it true love?

Does she make you forget about me?
Is she laying where I used to sleep?
Have you brought her back to Abilene?
Is she a summer fling, or a diamond ring?

I heard you're happy, is it true, love?
I heard you cut your long hair, is it true, love?
I never thought that it was really goodbye
We said forever, baby, maybe that's why
It hit me right out of the blue
When I heard you found somebody new
Is it true, love?
Is it true love?

I'm already barely picking up the pieces
Crying to my friends over wine every weekend
You probably don't even believe
Everything you've heard about me
But it's all true, love
It's all true, love

I never thought that it was really goodbye
We said forever, baby, maybe that's why
It hit me right out of the blue
Guess there's nothing that I can do
If it's true, love
If it's true love
