Well early this morning it dawned on me

The kind of man she needed me to be

She made a list and laid it there

beside me on the bed

Now what I should'a done

keeps a'runnin' through my head

Oh I should'a done this

and I should'a done that

I should'a been there

then she'd a never left

I should'a been hangin' on every word

she ever had to say

It's a little too late

she's a little too gone

She's a little too right

I'm a little too wrong

Now would be a good time to change

but it's a little too late

Last night I came home

at a quarter till three

And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me

I thought she finally realized

not to worry I'd be home

Then I realized this mornin'

she was gone

Oh I should'a done this

and I should'a done that

I should'a been there

then she'd a never left

I should'a been hangin' on every word

she ever had to say

It's a little too late

she's a little too gone

She's a little too right

I'm a little too wrong

Now would be a good time to change

but it's a little too late

But it's a little too late

she's a little too gone

She's a little too right

I'm a little too wrong

Now would be a good time to change

but it's a little too late

Right now would be the time to change

but it's a little too late
