I was born on the wrong side of the line
My friends say that I'm old before my time
Is it too much to ask for what is mine?
I've still got my soul, no, they won't take it, but they're trying
I was there while the autumn leaves were falling
Winter came, spring time started stalling
And I know, I know I ain't to blame
That's just the price we pay when we refuse to play their game
'Cause I'm a little too late to the party
'Cause I'm a little too late to get it on
I can see clearly y'all already started
And the music died long before I was born
Tell me, when did I get so old and gray?
Must have been when I wished my whole damn life away
I was young, I was dumb, a joke at my expense
I ain't a kid no more, but I still miss that innocence
'Cause I'm a little too late to the party
'Cause I'm a little too late to get it on
I can see clearly y'all already started
And the music died long before I was born
Before I was born
♪
Oh, I'm a little too late to the party
'Cause I'm a little too late to get it on
I can see clearly y'all already started
And the music died long before I was born
Ah, before I was born
Ah, before I was born
