What's that you say?
Can I back again tomorrow?
Girl, that's the same old thing you told me yesterday.
I don't know what to say,
Don't know what to do,
The way you string along this poor old heart, so true,
You said that you love me,
Then leave me to hangin', round your gate,
(Whistle). get on 'way from there dog! (Woof)
But don't say tomorrow,
Tomorrow gon' be, too late
(Tomorrow gon' be too late)
You the onliest one,
Only girl I'd ever want
But the way you do
Got me thinkin you really don't,
(I begin to wonder)
Why must you hesitate? (must you hesitate)
Don't leave me hangin' girl,
(Don't say tomorrow)
Tomorrow gon' be too late
(Tomorrow gon' be too late)
Know I seen that train a' comin, I,
Heared the whistle blow,
My mind begin to wonder,
Should I stay or should I go,
That train, that train. (why must you hesitate)
Girl, that 2: 24 is goin' round the bend.
(Don't say tomorrow)
Tomorrow gon' be too late
(Tomorrow gon' be too late)
You done promised me once,
Promised me twice,
But now all them sweet little promises, is turned to lies,
I'm so tired o' wonderin', the time must come, to tell you straight, (hesitate)
Don't say tomorrow,
Tomorrow gon' be too late
(Tomorrow gonna be too late)
Know the sun gon' rise, same, as it ever done,
But don't you call my name, mama, I'm 'on be gone
(Don't say tomorrow)
Too long, know I can't wait, (know I just can't wait)
Yeah,
(Don't say tomorrow)
Tomorrow gon' be too late
(Tomorrow gonna be too late)
Yes, yes, yes,
(Don't say tomorrow)
Tomorrow gon' be too late
(Tomorrow gonna be too late)
