It's Too Late - Wilson Pickett
Do lu do oh oh
Do lu do oh oh
It's too late (too late too late)
Said it's too late yes it is (too late too late)
My love is gone away to stay (too late too late)
Don't you know it's too late now (too late too late)
Listen children I wanna tell you this
It's too late to cry (too late to cry)
It's too late to cry now (too late to cry)
My love is gone away yes she has (too late too late)
Oh oh (too late) she has (too late)
Ah ah ah do lu do lu
I just guess that you're wondering why I always sing a sad song
But you see I had a woman who was very good to me
And I can remember the times
She used to sit down and tell me these words
Said Pickett I want you to know
I love you from the bottom of my heart
And whatever you need
I don't want you to go to your mother your father
Your sister or your brother
I'll be a leading pull when you're falling down
When all your money's gone
I want you to know you can count on me
But I didn't appreciate that woman then
You know what I had to run and chase
After every little girl around town
So finally one day I got home and I found my little girl gone
And people you know it hurt me so bad (ha ha)
I had to hang my little head and cry
Then I began to read the letter she left for me laying there
It read like this children
It's too late she's gone oh yeah (too late she's gone)
It's too late I'm gone away (too late she's gone)
Ah yeah (too late) don't you know it children (too late)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (too late too late)
Say it one more time (too late) listen (too late)
I wanna hear you understand what I'm talking about (too late)
