Ben Kaimana Diamond / Son Stone

Lyrics

The way that you walk and the way that you undress
Fills me with remorse for the sins I must confess
You’ve gone away again now, you say you won’t be back ‘till fall
Oh, if I cannot run to you, then surely I will crawl

One minute you play hard to catch, the next you make me beg
And you lay there like a sphynx, prone upon four legs
You say “Boy you better go now, my man is gonna be here soon”
As I walk off toward the sunset, you’ve got me howling at the moon

Well here I am again now, why must this be my fate?
Can you tell me once again now, why must I always wait?
Your love’s a lot too little and a little too late

I’m here to lift your spirits, I know why you keep me ‘round
You use me for my body, you like to knock me down
I serve your wants and pleasures, and pay out what you owe
And I reap the seeds and sorrows of misfortunes that you sow

CHORUS

I think you’ve schooled me well enough, it’s time to skip this stone
My hands will miss your body, my ears will miss your moan
My eyes have burned a vision, the queen upon her thrown
And I know that you’ll replace me the minute that I’m gone

Well here I am again now, why must this be my fate?
Can you tell me once again now, why must I always wait?
Your love’s a lot too little
Your love’s a lot too little
Your love’s a lot too little and a little too late
