Lyrics
It's too late to say you want me
Realizing that expressing a desire for a relationship is untimely
But it's too late
Emphasizing the missed opportunity with a repeated acknowledgment of lateness
Once my love for you was so great
Reflecting on the past when the love for the person was intense
It's too late to love me now
Stating that it is now too late for the person to love the speaker
It's too bad, you say you need me
Expressing regret about the person claiming to need the speaker
Ah it's too bad
Reiterating the unfortunate situation with a sense of sorrow
And I know the feeling and it's so sad
Understanding the feeling of neediness and acknowledging its sadness
It's too late to love me now
Reaffirming that it's too late for the person to love the speaker
It's too late to love me now
Repeating the sentiment to emphasize the irreversible nature of the situation
Don'tcha you know how hard I've tried
Expressing the difficulty in trying hard for the person
Hold out just for you
Persisting in holding out for the person despite challenges
Loving you from memory day by day
Loving the person through memories day by day
Someone came into my life
Describing the intrusion of someone new into the speaker's life
And turned my dreams around
Highlighting how this new person has altered the speaker's dreams
Well he's taking all the love you turned away
Indicating that the new person is accepting the love the previous person rejected
It's too late to say you want me
Repeating the sentiment that expressing a desire for the relationship is too late
But it's too late
Reemphasizing the missed opportunity with a repeated acknowledgment of lateness
Once my love for you was so great
Recalling the past intensity of love for the person
It's too late to love me now
Restating that it is too late for the person to love the speaker
Don'tcha you know how hard I've tried
Reiterating the difficulty in trying hard for the person
Hold out just for you
Persisting in holding out for the person despite challenges
Loving you from memory day by day
Loving the person through memories day by day
Someone came into my life
Describing the intrusion of someone new into the speaker's life
And turned my dreams around
Highlighting how this new person has altered the speaker's dreams
He's taking all the love you turned away
Indicating that the new person is accepting the love the previous person rejected
It's too bad, you say you need me
Expressing regret about the person claiming to need the speaker
And it's too bad
Reiterating the unfortunate situation with a sense of sorrow
And I know the feeling and it's so sad
Understanding the feeling of neediness and acknowledging its sadness
It's too late to love me now
Stating that it is now too late for the person to love the speaker
It's too late to love me now
Repeating the sentiment to emphasize the irreversible nature of the situation
