Too Little, Too Late

Continental Drifters


Graduation day and you sum up broke
Shuffled your feet and then bummed a smoke
You were so convinced that it came out great
there was no one there to tell ya it's too little too late.

Too little too late, she waited long enough
For you to make the first move with a little love
But you never took charge, no you never did act
She got the short end of the stick and that's a fact.

It's a long way there and a long way back
She was ready to go with you, she was already packed
But when the limo pulled up and you made her wait
Then you changed your mind ah-too little too late.

Too little too late.

Too little too late, she doesn't hate you enough
To stop you from feelin' so victimized
So far so good it's gone past the point
To stop you from feelin' so good inside.

Cause you're always first rate and you're always top shelf
And you're never really wrong if you say so yourself
You're a great big man at a broken gate
Tryin' to get himself inside too little too late.

Too little too late, too little too late
Too little too late, too little too late, too little too late.

When you get to the part where she's gone for good
Well, ya better take stock what you misunderstood.

And you had your chance and you dropped the ball
Like a deer in the headlights, oh that's not all
She learned the hard way she just didn't relate
Now it doesn't really matter, oh it's too little too late.

Too little too late, too little too late
Too little too late (too little too late) too little too late, too little too late.
