"Too Late"

Words and music, Lou Reed

[Verse 1]

Too late, too late, baby

Too late, too late, baby

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

Oh, too late (Much too late)

Oh, too late (Too late, it's too)

Oh, too late

It's too late to be loved

Hey now, too late to be loved

I wanna tell you, it's too late to be loved

By a guy like me

[Verse 2]

Too much, too fast, baby

Too much, too fast, baby

Oh, it's too much (It's too much)

Oh, it's too fast (Too fast)

Oh, our love won't last (Won't quite last)

It's too late to be loved

It's too late to be loved

It's too late to be loved

By a guy like me

Too late, too late, baby [Laughing] (Ah, Jesus)

Too late, too latе, baby

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

Oh, too late (Much too latе)

Oh, for love - ah, to wait (For love to wait)

It's too late to be loved

I wanna tell you, midnight hour (Too late to be loved)

And get down on your knees, baby (Too late to be loved)

Yeah, everybody, come on (Too late to be loved)

I wanna tell ya it's too late to be loved
