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

LYRICS TO Along Came Rae

I shrunk my head
Until it fit in my thoughts or so I’ve read
It’s all part of the latest rage
I can’t remember what the analyst said
I’ll spend my day in bed
It’s bound to work itself out instead

I may be your latest hobby, it’s true
Now this may not be a big deal for you
But a mere mortal like me might just get hurt
You’re just an amusing little time killer
I adore you, I despise you, then love you
It’s bound to get convoluted in the end.

Along came Rea
Turning my world upside down
Looks like she’s here to stay
Think I’m falling for Rea

Here upon this lighted stage
Everything is a dodgy situation
Of tactless, mercurial thespians
It’s all so surreal, so pedestrian
In the end we’re here to run the race
With no one ever reaching first place.

Wrestling with an internal diatribe
Fixing a hole deep down inside
I guess that what makes you so smug
You’re acting all sanctimonious
Which gets me quite acrimonious 
I need this fix; you’ve become that drug

Along came Rea
Turning my world upside down
Looks like she’s here to stay
Think I’m falling for Rea
