It's late (it's late)

We gotta get on home

It's late (it's late)

We've been gone too long

Too bad (too bad)

We shoulda checked our time

Can't phone (can't phone)

We done spent ev'ry dime



It's late (it's late)

We're 'bout to run outta gas

It's late (it's late)

We gotta get home fast

Can't speed (can't speed)

We're in a slow-down zone

Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong?



If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine

Woulda had fun and plenty of time

We got started just a little bit late

Hope this won't be our last date



Look up (look up)

Is that the moon we see?

Can't be (can't be)

Looks like the sun to me

It's late (it's late)

I hate to face your dad

Too bad (too bad)

I know he's gonna be mad

It's late (it's late)

We gotta get on home

It's late (it's late)

We've been gone too long

It's late (it's late)
