Too Late

Hey, Mister Watson

Listen here what the lady told me

Said, "Larry, I'm sorry, I gotta go

'Cause I found me a new love and I love more"

I know that must've been a bitter pill for you to take

Sure was, man, it make your poor heart wanna break

This what I told her, "You and your new love keep on keepin' on

I know that lovin' feelin' is gone"

I'm too late, way too late, baby

Too late, you messed up your good thing

I'm through with you, girl

Tell her to keep that love, man, if that's what she call it

She'll mess around and be that made you an alcoholic

Sorry 'bout that

I gave her my heart, she only used it

She took my love and she abused it

You gotta find a girl that'll treat you right

That'll give you plenty of lovin' every night now

That's what I told her

You and your new love keep on keepin' on

I know that lovin' feelin' is gone

I'm too late, way too late, baby

Too late, you done messed up your good thing

Through with you, girl

You can go on and find you somebody else

I can live cheaper by myself

Don't need no woman to help me starve to death

Can you dig it?

Hey, Watson, dig this, this what I told her

"I don't want no one who don't love me

Who keep on dishin' out misery"

You don't want nobody that don't treat you right

She got to love you every night now

But dig this

You and your new love keep on keepin' on

I know that lovin' feelin' is gone

I'm too late, way too late, baby

Too late, you done messed up your good thing

Your ship has gone by, baby (Too late)

I'm gonna find me somebody new (Too late)

It's too late, baby, now (Too late)

Ooh, whoa (Too late)
