I Wish I'd Met You - Lena Horne

you lived two blocks down and i never even knew it

my daddy overhauled your old man’s buick

you sang in the, i slept in the back pew… every sunday

when skynard came to town we were both in the crowd

singing give me three steps, give me three steps mister…

all that time i don’t know how i missed ya

i wish i met you sooner we’d be further along

more miles behind us on this road were on

i’d turn back the hands of time but i don’t know how

i wish… i met you sooner i’d be rid of you by now

you’re so damn good at whinin' you could serve it with cheese

and i’m over your obsession with daytime tv

when you say you’re almost ready i know i got two good hours… to kill

you got too many rules and you like to recite 'em

you can take 'em all and stick 'em where the sun ain’t shining

and by the way the oven ain’t no decorative item

i wish i met you sooner we’d be further along

more miles behind us on this road were on

i’d turn back the hands of time but i don’t know how

i wish… i met you sooner i’d be rid of you by now

i hate your cat … can’t stand your brother

if it ain’t one thing… it’s your mother

i wish i met you sooner we’d be further along

more miles behind us on this road were on

i’d turn back the hands of time but i don’t know how

i wish… i met you sooner i’d be rid of you by now
