Nat King Cole
"I Was a Little Too Lonely (And You Were a Little Too Late)"

(jay livingston, raymond evans)
You promised me you'd come back,I promised to wait.But I was a little too lonely,And you were a little too late.
Too many long nights alone,Not even a date.So I got a little too lonely,And you were a little too late.
You never did write, you never did call.When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball.You thought that I'd be here to run to,Now I'm gonna do to you what I've been done to.

Too bad about you, my friend,It could've been great.But I was a little too lonely,And now you're a little too late.
