Align:    
  • When we got married
  • All of our friends were there
  • Ev'ryone said
  • We were a happy pair
  • Together we would have
  • A home, sweet home
  • But listen
  • They didn't know, uh!
  • You had an outside affair goin' on
  • Listen!
  • Listen!
  • It's too, late (late)
  • Lord, too late (to late to wake up)
  • It's too late, it's too late
  • (It's too late)
  • Let me tell ya
  • We've got to break-up
  • (We've got to break-up)
  • Lord, you stayed away too long
  • (Temptation was) too strong
  • It's too, late (for you)
  • Hey, listen!
  • I've have a message for you!
  • Listen to me!
  • Spoken:
  • You know a friend of mine
  • Called me the other day
  • By the name of Joe Tex
  • He said, 'Don, try to *'Hold To What You Got'
  • But *'Ninety-Nine and a Half' won't do
  • Like Wilson Pickett said
  • I tried, *'A Lover's Prayer'
  • Like Otis Redding said
  • It just didn't work out
  • I'm gonna follow
  • Solomon Burke's advise
  • *'Tonight's The Night'
  • It's all over, honey
  • 'Cause I need someone
  • To *'Stand By Me'
  • Like Ben E. King said
  • The rest of my life
  • Listen!
  • Baby! Baby!
  • It's too (late)
  • You're too late to wake up
  • (It's too late to wake up)
  • And let me tell ya somethin' else!
  • It's too late
  • (It's too late) (now!)
  • I found myself a full time love
  • Girl, you know
  • You stayed away too long
  • Temptation was too strong
  • It's too late
  • Spoken:
  • And listen!
  • I don't want you to come
  • Knockin' on my do'!
  • (Too late)
  • Listen!
  • May find myself, somebody
  • To let me sleep late ev'ry Sunday mo'nin
  • And bring me my breakfast to my bed
  • And when I have a headache
  • She comes, she rubs my achin' head
  • An you listen!
  • She comfort me
  • So sweet 'n frail
  • An let me tell you somethin', Honey!
  • FADES-
  • You know, you just not qualified!
  • I said, you're not qualified!
  • You're just not qualified to do it!
  • ~
