One Ring Too Late
© 2022 McGee, Oxford

Verse 1:
Wanted me to settle down, be a one-woman man
Like a fool I walked away, ‘cause I didn’t understand
All you wanted was a diamond, and to love me for all time
But I put your heart on hold, left it hangin’ on the line

Chorus 1:
I hung up one ring too early, tried to pick up One Ring Too Late
All I know is I let you go, and that was my biggest mistake
I should have paid attention, should have known it couldn’t wait 
I hung up one ring too early, tried to pick up One Ring Too Late

Verse 2:
You were looking for a diamond, love was all you wanted
He put one on your finger, in the place where mine wasn’t
Now every day I think about it, and regret the way I lost it all
When I let the phone go unanswered, wish I’d taken that call

Chorus 2:
I hung up one ring too early, tried to pick up One Ring Too Late
All I know is I let you go, and that was my biggest mistake
I wish I’d done it differently, guess I wasn’t thinkin’ straight
I hung up one ring too early, tried to pick up One Ring Too Late

Bridge:
Now there’s no use calling on the phone
All I get is that “Single Ladies Put a Ring On It” ringtone

Chorus 3:
I hung up one ring too early, tried to pick up One Ring Too Late
All I know is I let you go, and that was my biggest mistake
If I could do it over again, I wouldn’t have made you wait
I hung up one ring too early, tried to pick up One Ring Too Late

Outtro:
Oh, it was my biggest mistake, I shouldn’t have made you wait
Oh why, oh why, was I One Ring Too Late

One Ring Too Late

Some of us have driven …down a wrong road.         
Made mistakes …lost all we own. 
One! … is way too many. 
Shoulda stayed at home. (But I took that road) 

One … is one too many. 
Oh, the answer, is not more. 
I was fine, …without any. 
That’s for sure.  (Would have been the cure)

But I was never,  too good with numbers. 
Some fools sure… are hard to change. 
Got these quarters … filling up my pockets. 
Can’t give away. (couldn’t make her stay)

ONE ! … IS ONE TOO MANY…
To come between … the two … of us
I let my eyes search for someone special. 
I forgot …that’s what she was.

Now I got this time …these empty moments.
Once were filled …all day long … with you.
Got this silence … one moment’s too many.
Without you. (Oh, I’m telling you)

Once you find her …you gotta change your mind, sir.
She won’t stand round …if you stray.
Better take your sign down …just looking.
Or you’re gonna pay. (oh, I had to pay, cause…) 

One … is one too many. 
Yeah, I listened to that siren call. 
I was blind ,… still learned my lesson.
When I lost it all. … (guess I know it now)
ONE! … is ONE TOO MANY…
To come between … the two … of us.
I let my eyes … search for someone special.
I forgot …that’s what … she was.
I forgot …that’s what … she was.                
One … Is one too many …I forgot…that’s what she was.

One, Is One Too Many
