Song 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 should have checked our time
Can't phone (Can't phone)
I've gone and spent every dime

It's late (It's late)
We're about to run out of 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
Oh baby look that clock why can't it be wrong

If we could've left home by quarter to nine
We could've had fun in 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
Yeah!

It's late (It's late)
We're about to run out of 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
Oh baby look that clock why can't it be wrong

If we could've left home by quarter to nine
Could've had fun with 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)
Look like the sun to me
It's late (It's late)
I have 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 gotta get on home
It's late (It's late)
We've been gone too long
(It's late)
