Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by, and still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know, we won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see. Wait and see
Take a good look around and if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate

Sometimes you win, sometimes
Sometimes the blues get a hold of you
Oh, yes when you thought you had made it, Ahh, Yeah
All around the block, people talk a lot
But I'm gonna give it give all I've got
Oh, you know I -- I just won't go wasted!
Talkin' about that sweet season on my mind
It sure does appeal to me
I know we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat
Sailin on' sailin' on sailin on the sea
Ahh Yeah, Mercy now!
Some times you win, sometimes you lose
And most of the time you choose between the truth
Oh wonderin, wonderin' if you had made it -- Ahh, Yeah!
But I'll some kids, and make my plans
And I'll watch the seasons run away
And I will realize somewhere
In the open country
I'm talkin' bout that
Sweet season on my mind
It sure does appeal to me
I know we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat sailin on' sailin' on
Sailin' on the sea, now, Yeah, Alright

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time.
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
There'll be good times again for me and you,
But we just can't stay together; don't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it. (we can't make it)
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
It's too late baby, it's too late now darling
It's too late
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
There'll be good times again for me and you,
But we just can't stay together; don't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it. (we can't make it)
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
It's too late baby, it's too late now darling
It's too late

[Verse 1]
Love put me on the corner
Love put me in the street
Love put me on the corner
Now I'm looking for someone else
I'm looking for someone else
I'm looking for someone, someone to love
[Verse 2]
Love put me on the corner
Love put me in the streets
Love put me on the corner
And I ain't had much time to sleep
Walkin' up and down the streets
My heart is aching down, down to my feet
[Bridge]
I'm on my way back where I don't belong
Pickin' up the broken pieces one by one
Standin' on this corner with a better view
Got to stay here 'til I find you
[Verse 3]
Love put me on a corner
Love put me in the streets
Love put me on a corner
And I'm looking for someone else
I've been checking into myself
I'm looking for someone, someone to love

[Verse 1]
Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we both stopped tryin'
[Chorus]
And it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I know I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
It's too late
Too late
[Verse 2]
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, child, you knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, oh, and girl, I feel like a fool
Oh, yes I do
[Chorus]
And it's too late, baby, too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it, yes we did
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I, oh, I just can't fake it
Oh, I just can't fake it
[Verse 3]
There'll be good times again for me and for you
But we just can't stay together; don't you feel that too?
Still I'm glad for what we had and oh how I once loved you
[Chorus]
And it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (We can't make it)
You see somethin' inside has died, and I, oh I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
I just can't, I just can't fake it
[Outro]
It's too late, baby, oh
Said it's too late, oh, yes it is
Oh, it's too late, yeah
Said it's too late, too late
Said it's too late, ah yeah
I can't hide it no more, no no, no no
And we can't fake it, baby, oh
Oh, it's too late, yeah
And I can't fake it, and I can't take it
It's gone, baby, all gone
It's all gone, oh yeah
It's too late, yeah yeah
It's too late
It's too late, yeah
Oh, it's too late, baby
It's too late
It's too late, it's too late
It's too late
Oh, way too late
Oh, it's too late, yeah
Yeah, it's too late, baby
So long, gotta move on
Gotta move
Oh, I gotta move on
It's too late, too late, too late...
Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we both stopped tryin'

And it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I know I can't hide

Gotta move
Oh, I gotta move on
It's too late, too late, too late...
