Laurie was late to the fair
She didn't know he was already there
He wouldn't keep very long
He had a feeling that something was wrong

Laurie got lost on the way
She understood it was late in the game
She wouldn't rush for herself
Why should she do it for somebody else

Laurie was late, oh-oh
Laurie was late, oo-oo
Late to the fair, oh-oh
But she didn't care

Laurie was changing her mind
Woman can do that if they're so inclined
She knew he wouldn't forgive
Just one more reason she couldn't be his

Laurie was late, oh-oh
Laurie was late, oo-oo
Late to the fair, oh-oh
But she didn't care

Laurie is hard to hold down
She'd rather fly than waste time on the ground
She wants it all in a day
He never learned to stay out of her way

Laurie was late, oh-oh
Laurie was late, oo-oo
Late to the fair, oh-oh
But she didn't care

Laurie was late, oh-oh
Laurie was late, oo-oo
Late to the fair, oh-oh
But she didn't care
