Songtext Too little, too late, too bad Rhiannon Giddens

Too little, too late, too bad

I see you on your knees as I go walking by
Begging, "Darling, baby, please, don't leave me high and dry"
Well, I tell you right now, my dear old used-to-be
That ship, it ain't just sailed, it's way on out to sea
Gettin' smaller every minute
It's too little, too late, too bad
I was the last chance at love you've ever had
Too many lies, too many alibis
Too little, too late, too bad
To stumble through that door (ah-ooh, ooh)
With the smell of cheap perfume (ooh)
And ready for a war (ah-ooh, ooh)
Like a fool I fought you (ooh), and like a fool I cried (ah-ooh, ooh)
Like a fool, I thought you (ooh) were about to turn the tide
I was wrong
It's too little, too late, too bad
I was the last chance at love you've ever had
Too many lies, too many alibis
Too little, too late, too bad
You said you were gonna change, you liar
You said you were gonna set my world on fire
I'm getting mighty tired of your little infatuations
So now I'm gonna change my situation, yeah
You swore up and down you'd stop getting in your kicks (ah-ooh, ooh)
But I know what you are (ooh)
You're just an old dog with old tricks, yeah (ah-ooh)
It's too little, too late, too bad
I was the last chance at love you've ever had
Too many lies, too many alibis
Too little, too late, too bad
Too little, too late, too bad, oh
Too little, too late, too bad
Yes, it is
