Lyrics

VERSE
Shoulda known better; too good to be true
She was my kind of woman; what else could I do?
So I bit the bullet; went all the way in
Don’t know where I’m goin,’ but I know where I’ve been

CHORUS
I’m just too late smart
To avoid a broken heart
I’m just too late smart
I should have known we would fall apart
Now I’m just too late smart

VERSE
It went great for a while; everything in style
We went up like a rocket; eight ball, corner pocket
But just when I thought I had walked on the moon
I found out that fools fall in love too soon

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Some people get their learnin’ done pretty fast
And sometimes nice guys finish last

SOLO/VERSE
Back out on the street; movin’ my feet
It wasn’t very fun; glad it’s over and done
But I’m comin’ back; it was just a small crack
I’ll know this time when to cross that line

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
I’m just too late smart
