Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin' or maybe we just stopped tryin'

   And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
   Though we really did try to make it
   Somethin' inside has died and I can't hide
   And I just can't fake it
   Oh, no, no, no, no  (no, no, no, no)

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

   And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
   Though we really did try to make it
   Somethin' inside has died and I can't hide
   And I just can't fake it
   Oh, no, no

------ instrumental interlude ------

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

   But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
   Though we really did try to make it
   Somethin' inside has died and I can't hide
   And I just can't fake it
   Oh, no, no, no, no, no

It's too late, baby
It's too late now darlin'
It's too late
