Labi Siffre — Too Late

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Well how about a week? Well how about tonight? I'll be over right away
