Carole King
Arguably Carole King’s most popular song (and the competition is fierce). It was released as a single and topped the charts in April, 1971. Ironically, it was displaced as No. 1 by another one of Carole King’s songs – James Taylor’s version of You’ve Got a Friend.
It won the Grammy award as Record...
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
Oh, no, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (We can't make it)
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no
[Instrumental]
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, dah)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (We can't make it now)
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro]
It's too late, baby
It's too late now, darlin'
It's too late
It’s Too Late was written by Toni Stern & Carole King.
It’s Too Late was produced by Lou Adler.
