Lover Too Late - American Aquarium

In an all-night diner 'bout a quarter 'til three

A pretty girl’s cuttin' bedroom eyes at me

She takes her coffee one sugar, one cream

She takes her coffee just like me

In an all-night diner off the interstate

Too much fun outrunnin' fate

With a fork she pokes the eggs on her plate

I said «Baby what’s wrong?», she said «It's gettin' late»

And what more is there left to say?

When we watch tomorrow turn today

And why’d you have to look at me that way?

My honey, my darlin', my lover too late

My honey, my darlin', my lover too late

In a run-down room is where we’ll lie

Lose all meanin' of wrong and right

We can be each other’s if for just one night

And if the sun comes a-callin', pull the curtains tight

From a run-down room off the interstate

Headed in to work about an hour late

If lovin' you could earn a steady pay

I’d never have to work again another day

And what more is there left to say?

When we watch tomorrow turn today

And why’d you have to look at me that way?

My honey, my darlin', my lover too late

My honey, my darlin', my lover too late

And why’d you have to look at me that way?

My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
