-Words and Music by Nat Kipner and John McIntyre Vallins





JOHNNY:

Guess it's over, call it a day

Sorry that it had to end this way

No reason to pretend

We knew it had to end some day, this way



DENIECE:

Yes, it's over, the kids are gone

What's the use of tryin' to hang on?

Somewhere we lost the key

So little left for you and me and it's clear to see



BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you

Too much, too little, too late to try again with you

We're in the middle of ending something that we knew



JOHNNY: It's over

DENIECE: Oh, it was over



BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to ever try again

Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends

Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end



DENIECE; Ah, it's over

JOHNNY: It's over



DENIECE:

Yes, it's over, the chips are down (whoa)

Nearly all our bridges tumbled down

JOHNNY:

Whatever chance we try, let's face it widened-eye

It's over (It's over)

It's over < DENIECE shrieks>



BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to ever try again

Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends

Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end



JOHNNY: And it's over

DENIECE: And it's over

JOHNNY: And it's over



FADE

BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to ever try again

Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends
