Lyrics

You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means, I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy, and all the bitching, too
Yes, I'd forget it all, ooh, once in bed with you
Oh, darling, how could we end up like this?
Oh, baby, let me reminisce, ooh (Ooh, baby)
And when we, ooh (Ah, ooh, baby)
We stopped the hands of time
You set my soul on fire
My one desire was to love you (Ooh, baby)
I think of you with pride
And keep you, ooh, satisfied, oh, baby
Oh, baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I never meant to (Ooh, ooh)
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side (I'll be by your side)
Though the many happy times we shared
Could never ever outweigh the bad
Oh, I never loved nobody (Ah, baby)
Like I love you, baby, ooh
Now it's time for us to say farewell
Farewell, my darling
Maybe we'll meet down the line (Ooh, baby)
It's too late for you and me
It's too late for you and I
Too late for you to cry, baby
It's too late for you and me (Ooh, baby)
It's too late for you and I
Too late for you and me
Too late for you to cry, my baby, oh (Ooh, baby)
Ain't nothing left to say, baby
It's too late, my love, my love (Ooh, baby)
I never loved nobody like I love you, baby
Oh, my love, my love
I guess all that's left to do is to set it free
And go on with our lives
But through it all, please understand
It was just to keep you satisfied (Ooh, baby)
Ooh, ooh, but it's too late
