|
It seems it's been a long long time |
|
Since I have had to be home at nine |
|
I always made it - but too late |
|
And that has been my share of fate |
|
And still I know I will be there |
|
I might be late which isn't fair |
|
It does annoy those friends of mine |
|
When I always say I'll be on time |
|
(CHORUS) |
|
I never can make it right on time |
|
There's always something in my way |
|
You have to believe that I really try |
|
But it happens to me every day |
|
And I know you don't give a damn |
|
Here we go, Oh I'm late again |
|
On Friday afternoon at four |
|
My bank locks up the entrance door |
|
I need some cash to pay the rent |
|
Of course I'm late - no happy end |
|
The banker is a friend of mine |
|
He knows I'm never there in time |
|
So I start knocking on his door |
|
'cos after all it's only a quarter past four |
|
(CHORUS) |
|
It happened once that I wasn't late |
|
Which is the other side of fate |
|
I met this girl and right away |
|
I told her what I had to say |
|
And ever since we went along |
|
Sometimes we're late, sometimes right on |
|
And while I'm writing down this song |
|
She stands there waiting for me |
|
(CHORUS) |
