She had a taste for the finer things in life
She said she wanted more
Went out and bought her a diamond ring
That I guess she wasn't looking for

How was I to know
She left with words unspoken
That she would go
She left me stuck out in the cold
How was I to know

She got a taste of the city life
And I guess she wanted to stay
Still think about her from time to time
I guess I was a little too late

She had a love of the city skyline
She dreamt of seeing New York
I dreamt of waking with her at my side
Instead, I found a note on the door

How was I to know
She left with words unspoken
That she would go
She left me stuck out in the cold
How was I to know

She got a taste of the city life
And I guess she wanted to stay
Still think about her from time to time
I guess I was a little too late
I guess I was a little too late

She sent a postcard in the mail from La
She told me all about the things she does each day
I don't feel, I just feel strange
She isn't comin' home, but I guess that's okay

She got a taste of the city life
And I guess she wanted to stay
Still think about her from time to time
I guess I was a little too late
I guess I was a little too late

She got a taste of the city life
And I guess she wanted to stay
Still think about her from time to time
I guess I was a little too late
I guess I was a little too late

I guess I was a little too late
I guess I was a little too
I was a little too
I was a little too late
