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
