音乐咖啡厅:Too Little Too Late

JoJo原名Joanna Noelle Levesque，1990年生于美国曼哈顿。虽然还未满16岁，从2004年出名，已经发行了两张专辑。《Too Little Too Late》是2006年10月发行第二张专辑《The High Road》中最出名的一首，连续好几周蝉联美国Billboard前几名。JoJo大有赶超艾薇尔之势。
　　与首张专辑《JoJo》中那个活泼可人的14岁小女孩相比，《The High Road》中16岁的JoJo已经长成了一位性感的大姑娘，不仅如此，JoJo对歌曲的把握也更为老练，主题也转到“恋爱”上来。

Too Little Too Late    JoJo
Come with me, stay the night,
You say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do you expect¹ 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 begging² don't fool³ me
Because to you it's just a game

So let me on down,  Cause⁴ time has made⁵ me strong
I'm starting to move on,  I'm gonna say this now
Your chance⁶ has come and gone,  And you know

It's just too little too late,  A little too wrong
And I can't wait,   Boy you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream⁷ of my face,   But you don't like me
You just like the chase,  To be real⁸, it doesn't matter anyway⁹
(You know it's just too little too late)

I was¹⁰ young and in love,  I gave¹¹ you everything but it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate,  Go find someone¹² else
In letting you go, I'm loving¹³ myself,  You gotta 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,   Boy 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 heart¹⁴ baby,   I know I have so much to give
(I have so much to give),   With a player¹⁵ like you, I don't have a prayer
That's the way to live, yeah oh,  It's just too little, too late,   Yeah

It's just too little too late,   A little too wrong
And I can't wait,  Boy 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)
