Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but, boy, it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say?
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But, boy, you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game
(You know it's just too little, too late)

So let me go now
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know

[Chorus]
It's just too little, too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little, too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase to be real
It doesn't matter anyway
(You know it's just too little, too late)

Yeah, yeah, it's just too little, too late, mhm

I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't good enough
And now you wanna communicate
(You know it's just too little, too late)
Go find someone else
In letting you go
I'm loving myself
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help
'Cause you know

[Chorus]

I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give
(I have so much to give)
With a player like you, I don't have a prayer
That's no way to live
Oh, mmm, no
It's just too little, too late
Yeah!

[Chorus]

You know it's just too little, too late
(I can't wait, no)

[Chorus]

    General Comment:THIS IS A GREAT HEARTFELT AND EMOTIONAL SONG BY JOJO. IT IS A GREAT LEAD SINGLE FOR HER AND I'M GLAD IT WAS A HIT. THIS IS ABOUT HOW A GUY WASN'T MEASURING UP TO WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND HE WASN'T PLAYING HIS ROLE IN THE RELATIONSHIP. HE PROBABLY WASN'T GIVING HER THE ATTENTION, TIME, OR LOVE AND CONCERN SHE DESERVED. WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND SHE WAS PLAYING HER ROLE AND PROBABLY THE ONE GIVING MORE IN THE RELATIONSHIP. NOW, SHE IS READY TO LET HIM GO AND GIVE UP ON HIM...BECAUSE HE WASN'T GIVING ENOUGH AND HIS TIME HAS RUN OUT.

    General Comment:this song has become so popular, not many listeners really notice the meaning anymore. it's a great song with good lyrics. old mainstream, but great. i think it's pretty easy to figure out what it's about, but just in case... it seems like it's about how she reconnects/starts dating again her ex-boyfriend, who in the past cheated on her or did something bad. he says he's changed, bla bla bla, so she decides to give him another chance. then she realized that she really doesn't care for him anymore, she's strong without him. and that's what this song is about...

    General Comment:the grizzly bear cover of this song is so much better.
    it takes the inane stupidity out of it and adds a certain quality to it, a genuine feeling behind it...and you can tell her voice is technologically enhanced too.

    General Comment:Why do people come on here just to say it's bad. It's a good song and if you don't agree, don't say anything at all!
