From the recording What My Mama Says About Midnight

Lyrics

VERSE
You’ve heard about a day late and a dollar short
Sometimes it’s not the money; it’s the verbal sort
Lovers need to hear it, but it’s gotta be true
It’s way too late now for any “I love you’s”

VERSE
I guess you don’t love me; it’s really hard to know
You treat me very well; we’re always on the go
But sometimes when we’re lovin,’ you’re a million miles away
And when I say “I love you,” you just look the other way

CHORUS
(That) It’s too late to say it now
You should’ve said it then
Now that I’m leavin,’ you’re just learnin’ how
But don’t say it now or ever again
’Cause you should’ve said it then

VERSE
One more thing to tell you as I’m walkin’ away
It’s not enough to say it, even everyday
You gotta really mean it, and I don’t think you can
So just keep it to yourself until you understand

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
You talk a lot without sayin’ what you need to say
Did you think I’d just sit here ’til forever and a day

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Yeah, you should’ve said it then
