Lyrics
LATE BLOOMER
(OPENING - SPOKEN)
I JUST WENT TO MY CLASS REUNION,
WOW, WAS THAT AN EYE OPENER.
FEW KNEW ME BY MY NAME,
MOST DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHO I WAS,
BACK THEN.........
(VERSE 1).
WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL,
I WASN'T THAT HOT.
GUYS DIDN'T KNOW,
IF I WAS ALIVE, ALIVE OR NOT.
I STAYED AT HOME,
HARDLY HAD A DATE.
I WAS ALWAYS IN MY BED,
USUALLY BY EIGHT.
BUT AS I GREW UP,
THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE.
REALLY BLEW MY MIND,
HOW MY BODY REARRANGED.
NOW THEY ALL WANT ME,
BUT I HAVE MY CHOICE.
I CAN PICK AND CHOOSE,
THE BEST OF THE BOYS.
(CHORUS)
I WAS A LATE BLOOMER,
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.
THOSE WERE TOUGH TIMES,
DIDN'T WANT IT THAT WAY.
A LATE BLOOMER,
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.
I HAVE NO REGRETS,
DIDN'T PLAN IT THAT WAY.
(VERSE 2)
WASN'T THAT FAST,
NOT REALLY THAT SLOW,
I JUST FIT IN,
STATUS QUO.
THEY SEE ME NOW,
AND ASK WHO I AM.
THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE,
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
(CHORUS)
I WAS A LATE BLOOMER,
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.
THOSE WERE TOUGH TIMES,
DIDN'T WANT IT THAT WAY.
A LATE BLOOMER,
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.
I HAVE NO REGRETS,
DIDN'T PLAN IT THAT WAY.
(SPOKEN BRIDGE)
THEY TELL ME THEY MISSED OUT ON ME
BACK THEN, THEY ALL HAD THEIR CHANCE
TO CALL ME BACK WHEN, NOW THEY ALL
WANT ME BUT I HAVE MY CHOICE, I PICK
AND CHOOSE, THE BEST OF THE BOYS.
(MUISC BRIDGE)
HOT HOT HOT HOT
HOT
(VERSE 3 - REPEAT VERSE 2)
(CHORUS)
(SPOKEN BRIDGE - TO END)
THEY TELL ME THEY MISSED OUT ON ME
BACK THEN, THEY ALL HAD THEIR CHANCE
TO CALL ME BACK WHEN, NOW THEY ALL
WANT ME BUT I HAVE MY CHOICE, I PICK
AND CHOOSE, THE BEST OF THE BOYS.
