Too Late

(Album: Labi Siffre - 1970)

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
