  • Come with me, stay the night
    You say the words but boy it don't feel right
    What do you expect me to say
    You know it's just too little too late
    You take my hand, and you say you've changed
    But boy you know your begging don't fool me
    Because to you it's just a game
    You know it's just too little too late

    So let me on now
    Cause time has made me strong
    I'm starting to move on
    I'm gonna say this now
    Your chance has come and gone
    And you know

    It's just too little too late
    A little too wrong
    And I can't wait
    But you know all the right things to say
    You know it's just too little too late
    You say you dream of my face
    But you don't like me, you just like the chase
    To be real it doesn't matter anyway
    You know it's just too little too late

    It's just too little too late

    I was young and in love
    I gave you everything but it wasn't enough
    And now you wanna communicate
    You know it's just too little too late
    Go find someone else
    In letting you go I'm loving myself
    You got a problem but don't come asking me for help
    Cause you know

    It's just too little too late
    A little too wrong
    And I can't wait
    But you know all the right things to say
    You know it's just too little too late
    You say you dream of my face
    But you don't like me, you just like the chase
    To be real it doesn't matter anyway
    You know it's just too little too late

    I can love with all of my heart
    Baby I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
    With a player like you
    I don't have a prayer
    That's the way to live

    It's just too little too late

    It's just too little too late
    A little too wrong
    And I can't wait
    But you know all the right things to say
    You know it's just too little too late
    You say you dream of my face
    But you don't like me, you just like the chase
    To be real it doesn't matter anyway
    You know it's just too little too late

    You know it's just too little too late
    I can't wait

    It's just too little too late
    A little too wrong
    And I can't wait
    But you know all the right things to say
    You know it's just too little too late
    You say you dream of my face
    But you don't like me, you just like the chase
    To be real it doesn't matter anyway
    You know it's just too little too late Writer/s: Billy Steinberg, Joshua Berman, Ruth Anne Cunningham

  • Hope from Naperville, IlThis song is pretty good...I have Jojo's cd and it wasn't amazing but their were some interesting songs on there. This is about a boy who treated her badly, and they have the type of relationship where they break up and try and get back together again. Well, in the song she's saying, "It's too late this time."
    Jojo is talented though...
  • Michaela from Brooklyn, NyThis is the greatest song of 2006.i listen to this song everyday.I love the music so much.And from what I'v seen and read her say in some magazines,I think she's a cool youny girl.I don't know her of cource but it seems to me she's mature for her age.That's what I think, don't know.
  • Kali from Van Nuys, CaThat's exactLy what the songs about. It touches my heart When she says "In Letting you go I'm Lovin MyseLf!" That's Deep stuff!
    I know aLot of peopLe don't give her enough credit cause she's young and aLL that crap. But her aLbum is reaL good and she's an amazing singer. I can't wait tiL she's oLder and peopLe start takin her seriousLy. She's amazing!
    I Love JoJo! :]
  • Allison from An Awesome City In, CoI love this song! And yeah, I totally agree that its about a girl who's breaking up with her boyfriend. She's telling him that its too late to want her back and she's not coming back.
  • Aggie from Suva, OtherAnyone with a brain can work out the meaning of this song from the obvious lyrics. Random fact: The guy who plays her cheating bf is UCLA student Mike Zaher. Btw, JoJo's got an incredibly strong voice. Let's hope she'll last.
