It's Late

You say you love me

And I hardly know your name

And if I say I love you in the candle light

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 when I'm bleeding deep inside

It's late, ooh, 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

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

Yes, baby

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, but 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 tryna work it out

I ain't got long

You ain't got long

We gotta know what this life is all about

Tell me

Tryna work it out

Ooh, too late, yeah

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, ooh, 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

It's all too late

Whoa, whoa

It's too late, come on

Late too late, oh, yeah
