Kool & the Gang

I finally realized that I was wrong
And I'm sorry, I’m so sorry, baby
I wanna make it right before you're gone
I'd be so lonely, yes, I would, yes, I would
And what a price to pay
For all those nights and days
That we had spent together trying to hold on
A moment of confusion and a lifetime of regret
A chance that I’d be losing
The best that's happened yet, oh...

Better late than never
Better late than never, whoa-whoa...
(Oh, better late)
We're gonna work things out
Yes, we are, yes, we are, yeah
Better late than never, ooh...
Better late than never, whoa-whoa...
(Oh, better late)
Better late than never, baby
We can work it out
'Cause we still have time

I'm glad to see it means as much to you
As it does to me
Maybe we can celebrate our victory
Over our past
We'll work it out, baby, yes, we can
I didn't even notice
That you were suffering from neglect
While I was out there playing the games of life
I was losing all your respect, whoa...

Better late than never
(Better late, better late)
Better late than never, whoa-whoa...
(Oh, better late)
We're gonna work things out right now, hey, baby
Better late than never, yeah
Better late than never, whoa-whoa...
(Oh, better late)
Ooh, it’s too late for love’s never too late, yeah

Better late than never
Better late than never, whoa-whoa...
(Oh, better late)
It's not too late, we can make it great
Oh, babe, oh, babe, oh, babe, whoo!
Better late than never
(Never too late)
Better late than never, whoa-whoa...
(Oh, better late)
And I mean what I’m saying
From the bottom of heart and my soul
Trust me, baby, trust me, my love

(Better late, better late than)
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm...
(Better late, better late than never)
I've got so much to give ya
Please, baby, come on
(Better late, better late than)
Come on, come on, come on, oh-oh-oh...
(Better late, better late than never)
It's not too late for love, oh, baby
Better late than never, never
Never too late, yeah

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
