Too Late - May 1965 Demo

Too Late
Words and music, Lou Reed

Too late, too late, baby
Too late, too late, baby
It's too late (it's too late)
Oh, too late (much too late)
Oh, too late (too late)
Oh, too late

It's too late to be loved
Hey now, too late to be loved
I wanna tell you, it's too late to be loved
By a guy like me

Too much, too fast, baby
Too much, too fast, baby
Oh, it's too much (it's too much)
Oh, it's too fast (too fast)
Oh, our love won't last (won't quite last)
It's too late to be loved
It's too late to be loved
It's too late to be loved
By a guy like me

Too late, too late, baby (ah, Jesus)
Too late, too late, baby
Oh, it's too late (it's too late)
Oh, too late (much too late)
Oh, for a love, ah, to wait (for love to wait)
It's too late to be loved

I wanna tell you, midnight hour (too late to be loved)
And get down on your knees, baby (too late to be loved)
Yeah, everybody, come on (too late to be loved)
I wanna tell ya it's too late to be loved
