I was too late for the party
And when I looked around for you
You were standing in the shadows
With someone I didn’t know you knew
You smiled at him like an old friend
Then you danced too close too long
And I could tell from the look in your eyes
My woman was gone
The last song was almost over
As I walked out on the floor
I searched for you in the darkness
As you followed him out the door
You smiled at him like an old friend
As he held you too close too long
And I could tell from the look in your eyes
My woman was gone
Too late for the party
Too late to make you mine
I just can’t believe what you’re doing to me
And it’s driving me out of my mind
You smiled at him like an old friend
As he held you too close too long
And I could tell from the look in your eyes
My woman was gone
I was too late for the party
Too late to make you mine
I was too late for the party
Too late to make you mine
Way too late for the party
