Lyrics I Wish I'd Met You - Lena Horne

I Wish I'd Met You

you lived two blocks down and i never even knew it
my daddy overhauled your old man’s buick
you sang in the, i slept in the back pew… every sunday
when skynard came to town we were both in the crowd
singing give me three steps, give me three steps mister…
all that time i don’t know how i missed ya
i wish i met you sooner we’d be further along
more miles behind us on this road were on
i’d turn back the hands of time but i don’t know how
i wish… i met you sooner i’d be rid of you by now
you’re so damn good at whinin' you could serve it with cheese
and i’m over your obsession with daytime tv
when you say you’re almost ready i know i got two good hours… to kill
you got too many rules and you like to recite 'em
you can take 'em all and stick 'em where the sun ain’t shining
and by the way the oven ain’t no decorative item
i wish i met you sooner we’d be further along
more miles behind us on this road were on
i’d turn back the hands of time but i don’t know how
i wish… i met you sooner i’d be rid of you by now
i hate your cat … can’t stand your brother
if it ain’t one thing… it’s your mother
i wish i met you sooner we’d be further along
more miles behind us on this road were on
i’d turn back the hands of time but i don’t know how
i wish… i met you sooner i’d be rid of you by now
