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
