Too Bad - Ashford & Simpson

You know sometimes it takes what you’re doin'

Before you know you’re goin' right

Sometimes you don’t make your bed up

Sleep was hard last night, hmm

Sometimes it takes more than you have

To benefit from what you know

Sometimes you keep pouring water

But the seeds don’t grow, woah

You’re just almost

Too bad you had to go so far

To find what was on the end of the time, yeah

I was there, yes, I was planning the hand of time

She was so wise, so smart but it was all arranged, yes, it was

You can trace the mystery 'cause it laid right back in me

Too bad you had to go so far

To find what was only

You know sometimes it takes what you’re doin'

Before you know you’re goin' right

Sometimes you don’t make your bed up

Sleep was hard last night, hmm

Sometime it takes more than you have

To benefit from what you know

Sometimes you keep pouring water

But the seeds don’t grow, no, no

You’re just almost

Too bad you had to go so far

To find what’s only

Too bad, too bad, too bad

Too bad, too bad, too bad

Too bad you had to go so far

Too bad you had to go so far to find what’s only, yeah

I was there all the time going all the way

Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, yeah

I was there, I was there in your path

Oh, it’s too bad, oh yes, it is

I had to go so far, oh yeah

Too bad, too bad, too bad, too far, too bad

Too bad, too bad

I was here all the time, all the time
