Scritti Politti - A Day Late And A Dollar Short lyrics

A day late And a dollar short Who'd have believed it? Yeah, who'd have thought? A done deal You blew it all You wouldn't listen When the time was called Cause 'enough is enough' is a tough one And one of us better just say (better say) A day late and a dollar short You promised to be true to the word Like some afterthought You come a day late and a dollar short I wondered where the truth would be found ----------> I wondered whether truth would be found I found what I sought Around a day late and a dollar short (A day late and a dollar dollar short) (A day late and a dollar dollar short) A bottom line Well I'll go without Too () you girl ----------> Two minus you, girl Go figure out At long last Well I'm getting smart You can follow the cash I'll follow my heart Tell me why I would I ever believe you? Why shouldn't I ever just leave you? A day late and a dollar short You promised to be true to the word Like some afterthought You come a day late and a dollar short I wondered where the truth would be found I found what I sought Around a day late and a dollar short (A day late and a dollar short) (A day late and a dollar short ) The ship has sailed With the dispossessed In the setting sun For the second best And the first to fail As you may have guessed Is just having fun Nothing more or less A day late and a dollar short You promised to be true to the word Like some afterthought You come a day late and a dollar short I wondered where the truth would be found I found what I sought Around a day late and a dollar short You promised me a star with a moon But the love that I sought Is love a day late and a dollar short I wonder when the luck's gonna change I'm struck by the thought That life's a day late and a dollar short (A day late and a dollar dollar) (A day late and a dollar dollar) A day late and a dollar short
