“And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it.”

—  Carole King

Though King wrote the music for "It's Too Late", the lyrics were entirely written by Toni Stern.

“Death, disease, famine
homelessness, abuse
I can't even watch
the 5 o'clock news
There could be an answer

but it involves a transfer
try love instead of hate
All you can do
is be good to people
and hope that those people
will be good to you too
but good luck
I doubt it”
