 [Verse 1]
 I was Cleopatra, I  young and an actress
  you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
 But I was  you asked it,
 As  laid in a black dress
 With my father  a casket, I had no plans
 
 And I left the  the mud stained on the carpet
  it hardened like my heart did when you left town
 But I must admit it, that I would marry you in  instant
 Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to  you around

  when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

 From the strangers in my  they remind me of you
 
 [Chorus]

 I won't be late for this, late  that, late for the love of my life
 And when I die alone, when I die  when I die I'll be on time
