Late Again (Gettin' Over You)

(Kris Kristofferson)



Woke up late again this mornin'

'Cause I was late again last night

In the mood that I was born in

And my skin was feelin' tight.



I took a short cut to the city

Had myself a drink or two

I've got over feeling shaky

But I'm still not over you.



God I might as well forget you

You ain't never coming to

Seems like ever since I met you

I've been a gettin' over you.



--- Instrumental ---



I don't crave no conversation

I don't need no sympathy

All I want is my old lady

That old lady wantin' me.



So take me anyway if you want me

I'll take you anyway I can

I don't want your sack of candy

Just some sweetness now and then.



I got to get myself together

With someone who wants some too

Maybe I can learn to love her

While I'm a gettin' over you...
