(jay livingston, raymond evans)


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.
