"Too Late" Lyrics

[chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late, it's too late

Like a puppet on a string you came and took control of me
Would've given anything to be your one and only
Filled my head with fantasies of what one day you'd give to me
Full of hope of what could be I sat and waited patiently

[chorus]
First you say that you have to go away (Oh)
I never should have been with you anyway
(I never should have been with you baby)
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late (It's too late) 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away (You have to go away)
I never really loved you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late, it's too late

For a time you were for me everything that I could need
Gave me time and diamond rings but something else was missing

Never stayed the whole night through
I suffered, prayed, and cried for you
After all that we've been through I feel I never really knew you

[chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway (Oh no)
And now you say you want to stay (It's too late baby)
It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away (You have to go away)
I never really loved you anyway (Oh...)
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late, it's too late

There's no need to call me on the phone
I don't wanna hear from you no more
No need (No need), don't call (Don't call)
Don't be a fool and stand outside my door
'Cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans
Oh... wow wow yeah...
Oh... oh oh...

[chorus]
First you say that you have to go away (You have to go away)
I never should have been with you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late (It's too late) 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway (I never loved you)
And now you say you want to stay (It's too late, it's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late

[chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late oh)
I never should have been with you anyway (Oh...)
And now you say you want to stay (You wanna stay)
It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way (It's too late baby)
You say that you have to go away (Oh...)
I never really loved you anyway (I never loved anyway)
And now you say you want to stay (I never loved anyway)
It's too late, it's too late
(I never loved anyway)

[chorus]
First you say that you have to go away (Oh yeah)
I never should have been with you anyway (Oh baby)
And now you say you want to stay (Why'd you have to go away from me?)
It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away (Oh...)
I never really loved you anyway (I never loved)
And now you say you want to stay
It's too late, it's too late
