Well, early this morning it dawned on me
The kind of man she needed me to be
She made a list and laid it there beside me on the bed
Now, what I shoulda done keeps runnin' through my head

Oh, I shoulda done this and I shoulda done that
I shoulda been there, then she'd-a never left
I shoulda been hangin' on every word she ever had to say
But it's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would be a good time to change but it's a little too late

Last night I came home at a quarter till three
And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me
I thought she finally realized not to worry, I'd be home
Then I realized this mornin' she was gone

Oh, I shoulda done this and I shoulda done that
I shoulda been there, then she'd-a never left
I shoulda been hangin' on every word she ever had to say
But it's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would be a good time to change but it's a little too late

But it's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would be the time to change but it's a little too late
Right now would be the time to change but it's a little too late
