I Was A Little Too Lonely And You Were A Little Too Late - Nat King Cole

You promised me you’d come back

I promised to wait

But I was a little too lonely

And you were a little too late

Too many long nights alone

Not even a date

So I got a little too lonely

And you were a little too late

You never did write, you never did call

When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball

You thought that I’d be here to run to

Now I’m gonna do to you what I’ve been done to

Too bad about you, my friend

It could’ve been great

But I was a little too lonely

And now you’re a little too late

~interlude~

You never did write, you never did call

When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball

You thought that I’d be here to run to

Now I’m gonna do to you what I’ve been done to

Too bad about you, my friend

It could’ve been great

But I got a little too lonely

And you were a little too late!
