lyrics

I ate my dinner
I cleaned my plate
I finished everything, but I
Started too late
Uh huh
Started too late

I made the movie
Oh, what a twist!
I bought you all kinds of crap, but you
Still got pissed
That I showed up late

Nothing decent to wear in my closet
And you know that it's a faux pas
For me to look good when you look great

I'll never lie to you
It sounds dumb, but it's true and that's why I was
Late

If we were children
I'd build a fort
I'd protect from the teacher and the
Book report
Afraid I'd come up short

I kicked his ass (yeah!)
His ass got kicked
I rescued you from getting raped, but you
Still got ticked
And said that I had come up
Short

Too many flowers and not enough roses on your birthday
The Edible Arrangements were my last resort

You used to say I was great
But now I'm little more than late
And a little bit
Short

Couple minutes late, few inches short.....
