I remember when I told you That I tried in every way To hold you and kiss you and love you and keep you till my dying day You just laughed And said you found somebody new And you didn't need all the things I could do Now you found out that your new love Isn't true like he should be You say that you're gonna forget him and you're gonna come back to me Well things have changed And I've found me somebody new Someone to make me forget about you And I'm telling you That it's too late to say you're sorry It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love And I'm going to make her mine It's too late It's too late Many days I tried to call you Many nights I spent alone Everyone knew that I loved you but you had a love of your own But now that it's gone You think you can come back to me But I'm not the same fool that I used to be And you're gonna see That it's too late to say you're sorry It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love And I'm going to make her mine It's too late It's too late To say you're mine It's too late to say you're sorry It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love And I'm going to make her mine It's too late to say you're sorry It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love And I'm going to make her mine
