Too Late to Run for Cover - Alvin Lee

The door was open, it was open wide

I took a step, I took a step inside

And it was hot, it was hotter than hell

I was looking in her face, but how was I to tell?

The price is right, you stay all night

You’ll be my lover, you got yourself another

Too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover, too late

Well it was dark, it was dark as night

But there were signs and I knew I was right

She was selling love and affection

I made a move to make the right connection

I was sold, she’s double gold

I’ll be your lover, you got yourself another

Too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

The price is right, you stay all night

You’ll be my lover, you got yourself another

Too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover

Too late, too late to run for cover, too late

She got me hooked, it was too late to say «no»

Don’t turn your back boy 'cause she won’t let go

There’s no mistake, you’re caught in a trap

I’m in too deep now, there’s no turning back

So don’t be sad, it ain’t so bad

You got your lover, there ain’t no other

Too late to run for cover
