Too Late
5.0.5.1 Lyrics

My mama told me, she said, "Son, please beware"
My mother warned me to be cautious because there is something called love that exists everywhere.

"There's this thing called love and it's everywhere"
My mother explained that love is a widely present phenomenon.

She told me, "It can break your heart and leave you in misery"
My mother told me that love can harm me and leave me in pain.

And since I met this little woman, I feel it's happening to me, and I'm tellin' you
Ever since I met this woman, I feel like I am falling in love and the same thing that my mother warned me about is happening to me.

I can't sleep at night, Wanting to hold her tight
I have trouble sleeping at night because I desire to embrace her closely.

I've tried so hard to convince myself That this feeling just can't be right, and I'm tellin' you
Despite my efforts, I cannot deny or dismiss this feeling, and I must admit that I am in love, which confirms my mother's warning.

I found myself phoning her at least ten times a day, It's so unusual for me to carry on this way
I noticed that I am calling her ten times a day, which is abnormal behavior compared to my usual habits.

I wouldn't mind it if I knew she really loved me too, But I hate to think that I'm in love alone and there's nothing that I can do
It wouldn't be an issue if I knew she reciprocated my love, but the thought of being in love alone is a painful one, and unfortunately, I cannot control the situation.

It's too late to turn back now
I have already fallen in love and cannot stop it now.

I believe, I believe, I believe I'm fallin' in love
I am confident in my feelings and believe that I am falling in love.

It's too late, Baby....Whoa-oh
It is too late to change what has already occurred, and this realization is emphasized by the added musical emphasis 'whoa-oh.'
