The Jim Carroll Band - It's Too Late lyrics

It's too late To fall in love with Sharon Tate But it's too soon To ask me for the words I want carved on my tomb I think it's time that you all start To think about gettin' by But I have that need to go out and find somebody to love It's too late There's no one left that I even want to imitate You see, you just don't know I'm here to give you my heart And you want some fashion show But it ain't no contribution To rely on an institution To validate your chosen art And to sanction your boredom And let you play out your part It's too late You know when they got nothin' to give They only part their legs for what's negative They're so decadent... Until their daddy's money from home's all spent So I think it's time, because it's too easy To rely on worshipping devils and strangers in bed Though they do get good d**, and they do give good head It's too late You shoulda realized I was worth the wait Ah, but you didn't hesitate When he took you off, you let him seal our fate So I think it's time That you all start To think about gettin' by Without that need to go out and find Somebody to love
