It's Already Too Late

You may be a cutie.

You can be funny and silly.

You might be a good cook.

To some, you are a crook.

Oh but what a waste you can be.

Trippin' with Molly and Sister Mary Jane.

There are times you can talk so strange.

Those are the times you often see

Not so straight. Some degree deranged.

You give into the passion's bait.

By the time you come to.

It's already too late.

When the air clears your head

You have nothing of yourself, left.

Mommy comes running behind you

To pay your rent

and any other financial debt.

By the time you come through.

It's already too late.

Oh but what a waste you can be.

Trippin' with Molly and Sister Mary Jane.

There are times you can talk so strange.

You give into the passion's bait.

By the time you come to.

It's already too late.

Then you're on your feet for what?

Then it's six months in the stocks

Like a target you will be

Every apple and tomato you will feel..

By the time you come to.

It's already too late.

Oh but what a waste you can be.

Trippin' with Molly and Sister Mary Jane.

There are times you can talk so strange.

You give into the passion's bait.

By the time you come to.

It's already too late.
