Lyrics of
Its Too Late

Its Too Late by Carole King addresses the end of a relationship and the acceptance that its too late to save that love. It is part of the 1971 album Tapestry, which is one of the best-selling albums of all time and a milestone in Kings career. The lyrics were written by Toni Stern, inspired by the end of Sterns relationship with James Taylor.

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, no no


There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, no no

It`s too late, darling, it’s too late, baby, it’s too late
