[INTRO - Classical beginning] [Verse] You keep callin' me on the telephone You keep callin' me I can't answer right now I'm callin' you back on the telephone And you're answerin' with the voice of an angel But I'm the one who says "I'm too busy for you right now" You don't say a word So I say "I'll call you back later" [Chorus] But it's too late now And it's too late now! (yahhh ) It's too late now! And it's too late now! [Verse 2] It's 1:05 i'll callin' you again ~(mmm-mmm) But I just stare at the phone Hopin' it's you that answer!. I wish you would just answer it And not hang up when I call And I wish I could be the one for you And I wish you would be the one for me And I wish we could make this work [pause] [orchestra riff] [Chorus] But it's too late now And it's too late now (yaahh) , IT Too late NOW! It's too late now And it's too late now [pause] [orchestra riff] [Verse 3] I wish you wouldn't pick up the phone I wish you wouldn't hear my voice I wish you wouldn't see me right now 'Cause I am a mess (yeah!) And I am not who I used to be And I am a mess And I am not who I want to be But you love me anyway And I wish you didn't love me 'Cause you don't know what you're getting into And you don't know who I am And I don't want you to find out I don't want you to find out ('~~~sigh~~~) [Chorus] But it's too late now And it's too late now It's too late now And it's too late now [outro - orchestra electric light]
