Cornelius Brothers/Sister Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's this thing called love, and it's ah ev'rywhere"
And she told me it can break your heart (break your heart)
And put you in misery (it can put you in misery)
Since I met this little woman I feel it's happened to me
And I'm tellin' you
It's too late to turn back now
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
I find myself phonin' her at least ten times a day
It's so unusual for me to carry on this way
I tell you, I can't sleep at night, a wanting to hold her tight
I tried so hard to convince myself that this feelin' just can't be right
And I'm tellin' you
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late to turn back now (ooh baby)
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late (baby) to turn back now (I tell ya)
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love (oh)
I wouldn't mind it if I knew she really loved me too
But I'd hate to think that I'm in love alone
And nothing that I can do, oh
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love (ooh baby)
It's too late to turn back now (I tell ya)
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe
The Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose's song Too Late To Turn Back Now is a classic love song about the power and inevitability of falling in love. The song is sung from the perspective of someone who was warned about the dangers of love, but ultimately succumbed to it anyway. The singer's mother tells him to be careful of love, but he falls in love anyway, and it has left him feeling vulnerable and uncertain. He finds himself calling her constantly, unable to sleep at night, and desperately wanting to hold her tightly.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's too late to turn back now," emphasizing the idea that once you fall in love, there's no turning back. The singer believes he's falling in love and there's nothing he can do to stop it. He hopes that she loves him too, but he's afraid that he may be in love alone.
Overall, the song is a poignant and heartfelt exploration of the many emotions that come with falling in love. It's a reminder that no matter how much we try to resist it, love has a way of finding us and changing our lives forever.
