He sat down at the counter
Beside me
He said son
My woman left me today
And if you want to keep
The woman you love
Then listen to what I've got to say
The best time to tell
Your lover you love her
Ain't when I thought that it was
The best time to tell
Your lover you love her
Is before somebody else does
He said son I took her for granted
Now she's gone
How could I've been so blind
And if you've got a woman
That you love
Then tell her a
And don't waste no time
'Cause the best time to tell
Your lover you love her
Ain't when I thought that it was
The best time to tell
Your lover you love her
Is before somebody else does
Before somebody else does
