American Aquarium – Lover Too Late lyrics

[Verse 1]
In an all-night diner 'bout a quarter 'til three
A pretty girl's cuttin' bedroom eyes at me
She takes her coffee one sugar, one cream
She takes her coffee just like me

[Verse 2]
In an all-night diner off the interstate
Too much fun outrunnin' fate
With a fork she pokes the eggs on her plate
I said "Baby what's wrong?", she said "It's gettin' late"

[Chorus]
And what more is there left to say?
When we watch tomorrow turn today
And why'd you have to look at me that way?
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late

[Verse 3]
In a run-down room is where we'll lie
Lose all meanin' of wrong and right
We can be each other's if for just one night
And if the sun comes a-callin', pull the curtains tight

[Verse 4]
From a run-down room off the interstate
Headed in to work about an hour late
If lovin' you could earn a steady pay
I'd never have to work again another day

[Chorus]
And what more is there left to say?
When we watch tomorrow turn today
And why'd you have to look at me that way?
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late

And why'd you have to look at me that way?
My honey, my darlin', my lover too late
