It's Late (Alternative Version)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

You say you love me

And I hardly know your name

And if I say I love you

In the candlelight

There's no one but myself to blame

But there's something inside

Turning my mind away

Oh oh, how I could love you

But, I don't know the way

Oh, but you should love me

If I could let you stay

[Chorus]

(It's late) When I'm bleeding deep inside

(It's late) Ooh, is it just my sickly pride?

(Too late) Even now

The feeling seems to steal away

(So late) Though I'm crying

I can't help but hear you say

It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late

[Verse 2]

The way you love me

Is the sweetest love around

But after all this time

The more I'm trying

The more I seem to let you down

Now, you tell me you're leaving

And I just can't believe it's true

Oh, you know that I can love you

Though, I know I can't be true

Oh, you made me love you

Don't tell me that we're through

[Chorus]

(It's late) Oh, and it's driving me so mad

(It's late) Yes, I know

But don't try to tell me that it's

(Too late) Save our love

You can't turn out the lights

(So late) I've been wrong

But I'll learn to be right

It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late

[Bridge]

I've been so long, you've been so long

We've been so long trying to work it out

I ain't got long, you ain't got long

We gotta know what this life is all about

[Guitar Solo]

Tell me

Try to work it out, late

Woo! Ooh

Too late, yeah

Too late, much too late

Ooh

[Verse 3]

You're staring at me

With suspicion in your eye

You say what game are you playing?

What's this that you're saying?

I know that I can't reply

C'mon

If I take you tonight

Is it making my life a lie?

Oh, you make me wonder

Did I live my life right?

[Chorus]

(It's late) Yes it's late, but it's time to set me free

(It's late) Ooh yes, I know

But there's no way it has to be

(Too late) So let the fire

Take our bodies this night

(So late) Let the waters

Take our guilt in the tide, now

It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late

It's late, it's late, it's late

[Outro]

Oh, it's all too late

Whoa, oh, it's too late

Come on!

I'm late, too late, oh yeah

Whoa!
