Lyrics I Was a Little Too Lonely and You Were a Little Too Late - Nat King Cole, Willie Smith, Lee Young

I Was a Little Too Lonely and You Were a Little Too Late

You promised me you’d come back
I promised to wait
But I was a little too lonely
And you were a little too late
Too many long nights alone
Not even a date
So I got a little too lonely
And you were a little too late
You never did write, you never did call
When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball
You thought that I’d be here to run to
Now I’m gonna do to you what I’ve been done to
Too bad about you, my friend
It could’ve been great
But I was a little too lonely
And now you’re a little too late
~interlude~
You never did write, you never did call
When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball
You thought that I’d be here to run to
Now I’m gonna do to you what I’ve been done to
Too bad about you, my friend
It could’ve been great
But I got a little too lonely
And you were a little too late!
