It's too late (too late, too late) |
|
Said it's too late, yes it is (too late) |
|
My love is gone away to stay (too late) |
|
Don't you know it's too late now |
|
Listen, children, I wanna tell you this |
|
It's too late to cry (too late to cry) |
|
It's too late to cry now (too late to cry) |
|
My love is gone away, yes she has (too late) |
|
Wo wo (too late) she has (too late) |
|
(spoken:) |
|
I just guess that you're wonderin' why I always sing a sad song |
|
But you see, I had a woman who was very good to me |
|
And I can remember the times she used to sit down and tell me these words: |
|
Said, 'Pickett, I want you to know I love you from the bottom of my heart |
|
And whatever you need, I don't want you to go to your mother, your father, your sister or your brother |
|
I'll be a leadin' pull when you're fallin' down |
|
When all your money's gone, I want you to know you can count on me' |
|
But I didn't appreciate that woman then |
|
You know what? I had to run and chase after every little girl around town |
|
So finally one day I got home and I found my little girl gone |
|
And people, you know it hurt me so bad (ha ha) I had to hang my little head And cry |
|
Then I began to read the letter she left for me layin' there; it read like this, children |
|
It's too late, she's gone, oh (she's gone) |
|
'It's too late I'm gone away' (she's gone) |
|
Ah yeah (too late) don't you know it, children (too late) |
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |
|
Say it one more time (too late) listen (too late) |
|
I wanna hear you understand what I'm talkin' about (too late) |
|
It's too late, she's gone, oh (she's gone) |
|
'It's too late I'm gone away' (she's gone) |
|
Ah yeah (too late) don't you know it, children (too late) |
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |
|
Say it one more time (too late) listen (too late) |
|
I wanna hear you understand what I'm talkin' about (too late) |
