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 keep's 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 the 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 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 the time to change but it's a little too late
