"Better Late Than Never" lyrics

"Better Late Than Never"

The insults and the punches flew
Just a-like they always had
He knocked me down and left the room
But I come runnin' back
And I said

Hey, look around, hey, look in your mirror
Lay your ego down, it'll get so much clearer
Why continue to push and pull and punish each other
When it would be so much easier to just find another lover

Now, your feet are cold, hey, babe, I'm on fire
And I'm losin' control because you got no desire
And so we go sparrin' through the night like two lightweight contenders
The flames have gone out, let's extinguish the embers

Put up the flag and lay down your weapon
This perpetual battle royal here is a long way from heaven
Call it a mistake or call it whatever
Let's just call it off, better late than never

Now I've got a-you and you've got me
But we got no manners at all
We're still countin' down to ecstasy
When some courtesy's all the situation wants
And it's so hard

So you keep the car and all those passionate letters
They won't get you that far, they won't make you feel better
And maybe someday, some other time, we can try this again
Maybe someday these flamin' hearts will learn how to be friends
But right now

Put up the flag and lay down your weapon
This perpetual battle royal here is a long way from heaven
Call it a mistake or call it whatever
Let's just call it off, better late than never
I'm through with you, you son of a

Put up the flag amd lay down your weapon
This perpetual battle royal here is a long way from heaven
Call it a mistake or call it whatever
Let's just call it off, better late than never
Let's just call it off, better late than never
Let's just call it off
