Lyrics:

(Marvin GayeAnna GayeElgie Stover) You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams For you to understand what this means, I shall explain I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin' too Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you Ooo darling how could we end up like this? Oh baby let me reminisce Oh and when we, woo, stopped the hands of time You set my soul on fire, my one desire Was to love you and think of you with pride And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby We could not bear the mental strain Leave you, I laugh at men too Now you see how much you hurt me But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side Though the many happy times we had Can never really outweigh the bad Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby It's time for us to say farewell, farewell my darlin' Maybe we'll meet down the line It's too late for you and me, it's too late for you and I Much too late for you to cry It's too late for you and me, much too late for you and I It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry baby Ah we tried, God knows we tried Now it's too late to live and love and ah it's too late baby It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry Oh oh ohhh it's much too late Well, all we can do is, we can both try to be happy
