Barenaked Ladies
Too Little Too Late
[Verse 1]
You say, "Why does everything revolve around you?"
You say, "Why does everything I do confound you?"
You say that I pulled the world from under you
You can't go through it this time
[Chorus]
And I could be good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late? (Whoo!)
[Verse 2]
One day, this embarrassment will fade behind me
And that day I could think of things that won't remind me
But these days, it's unbearable for both of us
We can't discuss it this way (This way)
[Bridge 1]
I'm gaining strength, tyin' to learn to pull my own weight
But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of too late, just wait
[Chorus]
I could be good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late? (Uh!)
[Bridge 2]
Record and play, after years of endless rewind
Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time
This time isn't Hell; last time, I couldn't tell
This mind wasn't well; next time, hope I'm
[Chorus]
Gonna be good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late?
Good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late? (Uh!)
