Never Too Late
Bad Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night, you said you didn't know what you wanted
Baby that's all right, I can help you see this one through
I know you won't leave him, you think it's all wrong
Why don't you open your eyes
You're so unhappy but you keep hanging on, so trust me, baby and you'll see
Chorus:
It's never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
It's never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe
One day, you'll look back and think you were crazy
There's no way, that's how it gets you sometimes
Right now, you can't let him go, there's something inside you
I won't tell you, you should know, it's so clear, baby, I'm right here
Chorus:
It's never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
It's never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe
(solo)
One day, you'll come running to me, it's just a matter of time
I'm right here where you know that I'll be, so trust me and you'll see
Chorus repeats out...
It's never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
It's never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe
The song “Never Too Late” by Bad Company is about a man helping a woman who is in a bad relationship that she is incapable of leaving. He tells her that it is okay to change her mind and take what she needs even if it is far along in her relationship. The man acknowledges that she is unhappy, but she keeps hanging on, and he encourages her to trust him and take a chance. He believes that one day she will look back and regret not leaving earlier, but it is not too late for her to make a change.
The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that it is never too late to make a change in life. The solo in the middle of the song adds a bit of intensity to the song, creating a moment of reflection before going back to the chorus. The last stanza of the song implies that the man is waiting for the woman to come to him, suggesting that he has feelings for her.
Overall, the song offers hope to people who may be feeling stuck or trapped in a situation. It encourages them to take control of their lives and make a change, even if it seems daunting.
