Too Late

First you say that you have to go away

I never should've been with you anyway

And now you say you wanna stay

It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you had to go away

I never really loved you anyway

And now you say you wanna 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 would give to me

Full of hope for what could be

I sat and waited patiently

First you say that you have to go away

Oh

I never should've been with you anyway

I never should have been with you, baby

And now you say you wanna stay

It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way

It's too late, oh

You say that you had to go away

You had to go away

I never really loved you anyway

And now you say you wanna 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

You never stayed the whole night through

I suffered, prayed, and cried for you

After all that we've been through

I feel I never even knew you

First you say that you have to go away

I never should've been with you anyway

Oh, no

And now you say you wanna stay

It's too late, baby

It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way

Oh, yes, I am

You say that you had to go away

You had to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Ooh

And now you say you wanna 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

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yes

Oh, yes

Ooh, ooh-ooh

First you say that you have to go away

You have to go away

I never should've been with you anyway

And now you say you wanna stay

It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way

It's too late, oh, yes it is, baby

You say that you had to go away

I never really loved you anyway

I never loved you

And now you say you wanna stay

It's too late

It's too late, it's too late (It's too late)

It's too late, it's too late

First you say that you have to go away

It's too late, it's too late, oh

I never should've been with you anyway

Ooh

And now you say you wanna stay

You wanna stay, but it's too late, baby

It's too late 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you had to go away

Oh

I never really loved you anyway

I never loved you anyway

And now you say you wanna stay

I never loved you anyway

It's too late, it's too late

I never loved you anyway

First you say that you have to go away

Oh, yeah

I never should've been with you anyway

Oh, baby

And now you say you wanna 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 had to go away

Oh

I never really loved you anyway

I never loved you

And now you say you wanna stay

It's too late, it's too late
