You promised me you'd come back
I promised to wait
But I was a little too lonely
You were a little too late
Too many long nights alone
Not even a date
I was a little too lonely
You were a little too late

You never would write; you never would call
When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball
You thought that I'd be here to run to
But now I'm gonna do to you what I was done to

Too bad about you, my friend
Oh, it could have been great
But I was a little too lonely
You were a little too late

You never would write; you never would call
When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball
You thought that I'd be here to run to
But now I'm gonna do to you what I was done to

Too bad about you, my friend
Oh, it could have been great
But I was a little too lonely
And you were a little too late
