Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing or maybe we've just stopped trying
[Chorus]
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)
[Verse 2]
It used to be so easy livin' here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
[Chorus]
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (We can't make it)
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no
[Verse 3]
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too?
Still, I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you
[Chorus]
But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (We can't make it now)
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro]
It's too late
Baby
It's too late
Now, darling
It's too late
