My daddy told me there'd be girls like you
I guess my daddy, had his hard times too

I'm asking you, baby
why make me wait
you better love me now
before it's too late

(It's too late) now that I need you
(It's too late) now that I love you
(It's too late) I thought we'd make it
(It's too late) but I can't take it

I'm begging you baby
won't you give me a break
you better love me now
before it's too late

(It's too late) 
(It's too late) 
(It's too late) 
(It's too late) 

I'm begging you baby
won't you give me a break
you better love me now
before it's too late

I know it's too late
yes I do
'cause I can't fool myself no longer
and I hear my conscience keep on saying

(It's too late) who was I fooling
(It's too late) well only myself
(It's too late) and I can't stay
(It's too late) like a book on a shelf
