Too Little, Too Late

Nat King Cole · Just One Of Those Things/let's Face The Music [2007]

Well, early this morning it dawned on me

The kind of man she needed me to be

She made a list and laid it there beside me on the bed

Now what I should-a done keeps running through my head



[Chorus]

Oh I should-a done this and I should-a done that

I should-a been there then she'd-a never left

I should-a been hangin' on every word she ever had to say

But it's a little too late she's a little too gone

She's a little too right I'm a little too wrong

Now would be a good time to change

But it's a little too late



Last night I came home at a quarter til three

And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me

I thought she finally realized not to worry I'd be home

And then I realized this morning she was gone



[Chorus]
