It's Late Lyrics
Shakin' Stevens
Lyrics
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 every 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
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
