Hey, Mr Watson
Listen to what the lady told me
She said, "Larry, I'm sorry, I gotta go"
"'Cause I found me a new love that I love more"
I know that must've been a bitter pill for you to take (D'ya know what, man?)
It'd make you fall hard down and pray (Here's what I told her)
You an' your new love keep on keepin' on
I know that lovin' feelin' is gone, now
(Too late) Way too late, baby
(Too late) You messed up your good thing
I'm through with you, girl
Tell her to keep that love, man, if that's what she call it
She done mess around and it has made you an alcoholic
Sorry 'bout that
I gave her my heart, she only used it
She took my love and she abused it
Gotta find a girl that will treat you right
That'll give you plenty lovin', every night, now (That's what I told her)
You an' your new love keep on keepin' on
I know that lovin' feelin' is gone, now
(Too late) Way too late, baby
(Too late) You messed up your good thing
I'm through with you, girl
You can go on and find you somebody else
I can live cheaper by myself
Don't need no woman to help me starve to death
Can you dig it?
Hey, Watson, dig this
This is what I told her
I don't want no-one who don't love me
Who keep on dishin' out misery
You don't want nobody that don't treat you right
She got to love you every night, now (But dig this)
You an' your new love keep on keepin' on
I know that lovin' feelin' is gone, now
(Too late) Way too late, baby
(Too late) You messed up your good thing
You sho-nuff know, my baby
I'm gonna find me somebody new
It's too late, baby, now
Woo-hoo, whoa, now
Way too late
