Somewhere we lost the key So little left for you and me and it's clear to see BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you Too much, too little, too late to try again with you We're in the middle of ending something that we knew JOHNNY: It's over DENIECE: Oh, it was over BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to ever try again Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end DENIECE; Ah, it's over JOHNNY: It's over DENIECE: Yes, it's over, the chips are down (whoa) Nearly all our bridges tumbled down JOHNNY: Whatever chance we try, let's face it widened-eye It's over (It's over) It's over BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to ever try again Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end JOHNNY: And it's over DENIECE: And it's over JOHNNY: And it's over FADE BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to ever try again Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends Transcribed by Robin Hood These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned above and do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheet music, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
