Well, early this morning it dawned on me The kind of man she needed me to be She made a list and laid it there beside me on the bed Now what I should-a done keeps running through my head Oh I should-a done this and I should-a done that I should-a been there then she'd-a never left I should-a been hangin' on every word she ever had to say But it's a little too late she's a little too gone She's a little too right I'm a little too wrong Now would be a good time to change But it's a little too late Last night I came home at a quarter til three And to my suprise she wasn't mad at me I thought she fin'lly realized not to worry I'd be home And then I realized this morning she was gone Oh I should-a done this and I should-a done that I should-a been there then she'd-a never left I should-a been hangin' on every word she ever had to say
