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
