I was a few bars early, then I got it right
I was a few barsearly
but then youcame into my life
I came ina few bars early when
I couldn't find the start
Came in a few bars early and
It nearly broke my heart

I was a few bars early when
I went to make my move
I couldn't see very clearly
But then I snapped back in the groove
I was just a few bars early
But I came right back in on line
Few bars early
But then I came right back in on time

I was a few bars early whеn
I had that very last drink
And you said play that song
Called "Later Than You Think"

I was a fеw bars early when I went to make
Make my move i couldn't see very clearly
But I then snapped back right in the groove
I was a few bars early
But I got right back in line
Few bars early, then I came right back
In, right back in on time
Hey hey hey hey hey yeah

I was a few bars early when
I got my very last drink
Somebody said play that song again called
"It's Later Than You Think"
I was a few bars early
But then I got it right
It was almost nearly
But then you came into my life
Came in a few bars early when
I couldn't find the start
I came in a few bars early and it nearly
Nearly broke my heart
I was a few bars early and I had
Had a very worried mind
But I shouldn't have worried 'cause
Everything just worked out fine
I was a few bars early by
The time that I got through
If it had've been any later
Then I would never have met you

If it had've been any later
Then I never would have met you
If it had've been any later, then I
Wouldn't, wouldn't, ever, never have met you
One more time
If it had've been any later, then
I wouldn't ever, never ever, have met you
