When he comes home intoxicated from the club
All the kids they go and snuggle up to mom
He starts shoutin' again, and they start runnin' again
This ain't no life for them to leadIn her mind she knows she has to let him go
In the children's eyes she sees the fear inside
How does she tell him, he won't take nothin'
This ain't no life for them to leadToo late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to goIn the morning when he wakes up from the couch
Not recallin' what had happened the night before
He starts askin' questions, he don't get no answers
What the hell's goin' on in hereToo late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to goToo late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time toShe starts saying she can't take it no more
When he comes home he always beats her to the floor
This old line she's givin', hey, about them leavin'
He can't take it allBut it's too late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye (I just got to let you know)
Now's my time to go (Yeah, yeah)Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Now's my time toToo late (Too late), too late, baby, bye-bye (Too late, yeah)
Now's my time to go (I don't want to be around you)
Too late, too late (I just got to take the kids and go), baby, bye-bye (Oh, no)
Now's my time to go
