It's Late

You say you love me

And I hardly know your name

And if I say I love you in the candlelight

There's no one but myself to blame

But there's something inside

That's turning my mind away

Oh, how I could love you

If I could let you stay

(It's late) But I'm bleeding deep inside

(It's late) Is it just my sickly pride?

(Too late) Even now the feeling

Seems to steal away

(So late) Though I'm crying

I can't help but hear you say

It's late, it's late, it's late

But not too late

Mmm, yeah

The way you love me

Is the sweetest love around

But after all this time

The more I'm trying

The more I seem to let you down, yeah

Now you tell me you're leaving

And I just can't believe it's true

Oh, you know that I can love you

Though I know I can't be true

Oh, you made me love you

Don't tell me that we're through

(It's late) And it's driving me so mad

(It's late) Yes, I know

But don't try to tell me that it's

(Too late) Save our love

You can't turn out the lights

(So late) I've been wrong

But I'll learn to be right

It's late, it's late, it's late

But not too late

I've been so long

You've been so long

We've been so long tryin' to work it out

I ain't got long

You ain't got long

We gotta know what this life is all about

Ooh, tell me

Tryna work it out

Ooh, too late

Too late, much too late

You're staring at me

With suspicion in your eye

You say, "What game are you playing?

What's this that you're saying?"

I know that I can't reply

If I take you tonight

Is it making my life a lie?

Oh, you make me wonder

Did I live my life right?

(It's late) But it's time to set me free

(It's late) Yes I know

But there's no way it has to be

(Too late) So let the fire

Take our bodies this night

(So late) Let the waters

Take our guilt in the tide

It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late

It's late, it's late, it's late

Oh, it's all too late

Oh, oh, it's too late

Come on!

Mmm, late, too late, oh yeah
