Lyrics Too Late - Labi Siffre

Too Late

Send me a picture of the way you look
I’ll get me a hammer and a little black book
Write me a letter just as long as you please
I’ll keep it in my pocket 'til I know I’m gonna sneeze
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
You say you’re coming 'round Sunday, gonna ring my bell
You know what you can do babe — go to hell!
Nothing you can do and nothing you can say
Gonna make me change the way I feel today
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
About a thousand years
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
Don’t tell me you’re gonna change your ways
Don’t tell me that it was just a phase
People like you, you don’t deserve a lover
People like you, you just need a brother
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
Come on over baby any day or night
It’s alright baby I enjoy the fight
Fall, submisison, knock out to ten
Sleep a little baby, then we start again
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
I know you wanna make it up but it’s too late
You wanna get me in a corner, kinda smother me with love but
It’s too late
I’ve just about had it up to here, can’t you leave me alone
About a thousand years
About a thousand years
Well how about a week?
Well how about tonight?
I’ll be over right away
