Lyrics

[Verse 1] I think that someone 'ought to come along to tell his girl that to straighten out her ways and means of life I think that someone 'ought to tell her to her little face that that's the only way to pass the very night She's being such a fool, she's breaking all the rules It makes me sad But I turn her little nose and I come and get me 'fore she can be bad [Chorus 1] Tomorrow will be too late I'm gonna catch the two-ten freight That girl, he never gonna know So mister, tell her please Ooh, before I leave That girl, has got to change her way [Verse 2] You know I left before, but this time is for sure and I'll be sad I'm gonna miss that girl Or roar and howl, I will and I'll be sad [Chorus 2] Tomorrow will be too late I'm gonna catch the two-ten freight That girl, he never gonna know So mister, tell her please Ooh, before I leave That girl, has got to change her way [Outro] Tomorrow will be too late, tomorrow will be too late Tomorrow will be too late, tomorrow will be too late Tomorrow will be too late, tomorrow will be too late
