Too Late
Tc-5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I looked around and all my friends had gone
You know, I stayed so long, I could not go home
Oh when I need a little something who, what, I did not know
Oh, I stuck around to see if it would show
Well, I stayed so long that I forgot to go
Way too late, way too late
Way too late to go home early now
Honey, turn your back, turn your back on me
'Cause I can't bear, bear for you to be
Bear looking at a man not where he's supposed to be
Now, it's way too late, way too late
Way too late, way too late
Way too late to go home early now
Honey, turn your back, turn your back on me
Oh 'cause I can't bear, bear for you to be
Bear looking at a man not where he's supposed to be
Now, it's way too late, way too late
Way too late, way too late
Way too late to go home early now

They ask them to turn their back and not look at them as they are not where they are supposed to be.
