it's too late
Mr. & Ms. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why must I always play the clown?
Why must I always play the clown?
It makes it too easy for them to put you down
It's too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
To wash my face and hands
Am too late to get too high to get, too late
Fall out the bath, fall in the car
Throw up just pull that window down
Let's have the beer, another beer
It's a fine idea my man
It's too late, too late, too late, always
To wash your face and hands
Too late to get too high to get
To wash my face and hands
Shes looking good, am in the mood
Step up and try to make her smile
Try to make her smile
I need a line this time, a chat up kind
To steal the deal in time
Why must I always play the clown?
Why must I always play the clown?
Why must I always play the clown?
It makes it too easy for them to put you down
It's too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
To wash my face and hands
Am too late to get too high to get, too late
To wash my face and hands
I fall up the stairs, fall into bed
Throw up and pull the window down
Pull the window down
Let's have a line another line
Now there's a fine idea my man
It's too late, too late, too late, always
To wash your face and hands
Too late to get too high to get
To wash my face and hands
Why must I always play the clown?
Why must I always play the clown?
Why must I always play the clown?
It makes it too easy for them to put you down
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, ooh
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Why must I always play the clown?
Always play the clown
Why must I always play the clown?
Why must I always play the clown?
See I always play the clown
Why must I always play the clown?
The song "It's Too Late" by Mr. & Ms. is about the struggles of trying to find companionship and acceptance. The lyrics tell a story of a person who is always assumed to be the clown in the group - the funny one who never takes things too seriously. The repetition of the phrase "why must I always play the clown?" emphasizes the frustration and desperation of the singer.
The song suggests that playing the clown role makes it easy for others to put you down or not take you seriously. The singer realizes that it's too late to change the perception others have of them, and they feel trapped in this role that they never intended to take on. They try to forget their problems by drinking and doing drugs, but it only leads to more problems.
The chorus repeats that it's too late to wash their face and hands, meaning that it's too late to start fresh or change their image. The final lines of the song show a resigned acceptance of their fate - they will always be the clown, and they have to live with the consequences of that role.
