Life's Too Long
Vogue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did I hear you say that you want another chance
You need another try
You're ready to reclaim your prize
So you want my love back
Why did you let it slip away
Why did you every let me go
Your change of heart has come to late
Well the door is locked
You can't get in

The game is changed
You've been too gone too long baby
To ever get back again in my heart
Too gone too long baby
You're too many tears too late
To ever come back, to get back in my arms
Been gone, too gone, too long
Did you hear me say that
You'd be a fool to leave

You'd regret the road youn chose
You'd come running right back to me
You had such a good love, sugar
You'd never find with no one else
What I knew all the time
You had to find out for yourself
But now you'll never know the love again
You're on you own
You've been too gone too long baby
To ever get back again in my heart

Too gone too long baby
You're too many tears too late
To ever come back, to get back in my arms
Been gone, too gone, too long
Did you really think I'd take you back
Let you right in my life baby
Just like that
Someone new is loving me

Loving you was what used to be
Baby you're too late to win my heart again
You've been too gone too long baby
To ever get back again in my heart
Too gone too long baby
You're too many tears too late




To ever come back, to get back in my arms
Been gone, too gone, too long

Overall Meaning

The song "Life's Too Long" by Vogue is about a past lover who realizes too late that they want another chance with the singer. The chorus repeats the line "Too gone too long baby, to ever get back again in my heart" referring to the fact that although the past lover wants to come back, they were gone for too long and it's too late for them to be welcomed back into the singer's heart.


The first verse asks the question of why the past lover let the singer go and why they are suddenly ready to try again. The singer is closed off to the idea of letting them back into their life, as they have missed out on their chance already. The second verse advises the past lover that they would be a fool to leave, and that they will regret their decision and come running back to the singer. The singer knows that the love they shared was special and cannot be found with anyone else.


The bridge repeats the sentiment that the past lover is too late to win the singer's heart back. They may have had a chance in the past, but now that someone else is in the singer's life, it's too late for them to come back. Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the idea that life is too short to waste time on people who don't appreciate or value you, and that once someone loses their chance with you, it's often difficult or impossible to get that chance back.
