Born Too Late Lyrics


Born Too Late for you to notice me
To you, I''m just a kid that you won''t date
Why was I born too late?

Born too late to have a chance to win your love
Oh why, oh why was it my fate
To be born too late?

I see you walk with another
I wish it could be me
I long to hold you and kiss you
But I know it never can be

for I was

Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart just couldn''t wait
Why was I born too late?

Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart just couldn''t wait
Why was I born too la-a-a-a-ate?
Why was I born too late?
Too late

Born Too Late
  • This was released as the B-side of "Come on Joey, Dance With Me," but some DJs in Cleveland flipped the record and played this instead. It went on to become a hit.
  • The Poni-Tails were a female vocal group from Brush High School in Lyndhurst, Ohio. The original members are often listed as Toni Cistone (lead), LaVerne Novak (high harmony) and Karen Topinka, but on their first single ("Your Wild Heart" back with "Que La Bozena," released on the Point Label in 1957), the group is listed as Cistone, Topinka and Patti McCabe, who is often reported to be Topinka's replacement. In fact, Novak was Topinka's replacement in 1958. Have a look at the single and learn more about the band in Song Images.
  • This was The Poni-Tails only hit in the US. In 1959 they had a #26 hit in the UK with "Early To Bed."
