歌詞
[Verse 1]
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, all the bitching too
Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you
Oh darling, how could we end up like this?
Oh baby, let me reminisce
[Verse 2]
Oh, and when we, woo, stopped the hands of time (Ooh, baby)
You set my soul on fire, my one desire
Was to love you and think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied, oh baby, oh baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Can really never outweigh the bad (Ooh, baby)
Oh, I'll never love nobody like I loved you, baby
[Verse 3]
It's time for us to say farewell
Farewell, my darling
Maybe we'll meet down the line
It's too late for you and me
It's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you, and I
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry, baby
Ah, we tried, God knows we tried (Ooh, baby)
Now, it's too late to live and love
And ah, it's too late, baby (Too late)
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry
Oh, oh, oh, it's much too late (Too late)
[Outro]
Ah well, all we can do is we can both try to be happy
