[Verse 1]
You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means, I shall explain
I stood all the jealousies, and all the bitchin' too
Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you
Oh darling, how could we end up like this?
Oh baby, let me reminisce

[Verse 2]
(Ooh baby) And when we, woo
(Ah, ooh baby) We'd stop the hands of time
You set my soul on fire, my one desire
Was to love you, and think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied, oh baby, oh baby, baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me
But, if you ever need me, I'll be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Could really never outweigh the bad
(Ooh baby) Oh, I'll never love nobody
(Ah, ooh baby) Like I love you, baby
Now it's time for us to say farewell
Farewell, my darlin', my darlin', yeah
Maybe we'll meet down the line
[Outro]
(Ooh baby) It's too late for you and me
(Ah, ooh baby) It's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
Oh, much too late
(Ooh baby) It's too late for you and me
(Ah, ooh baby) much too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
Oh, oh baby
Oh, much, it's much too late, ooh, oh, you know, darlin'
Oh, God knows we tried, oh, God knows we tried
It's much too late, too late, too late, too late
Ah, ooh, it's much too late
Much too late for you to cry
