Late Great Lover

Marty Robbins · Today [Columbia] [1971]

Before I met you I used to get around

And I could have most any girl in any town

When I fell for you all my playboy days were through

You sure knew just how to tear my playhouse down.



Just call me the late and great lover

Since I lost you I could never love another

I met my Waterloo when I fell in love with you

Just call me the late and great lover.



That was a fateful day when I laid eyes on you

I didn't know that you were a great lover too

And then you said goodbye with a twinkle in your eye

Ya walked right out the front door with somebody new.



Just call me the late and great lover

Since I lost you I could never love another

I met my Waterloo when I fell in love with you

Just call me the late and great lover.



Just call me the late and great lover...
