   It's late
   We got to get on home
   It's late
   We been gone to long
   Too bad
   We should have checked the time
   Can't phone
   We done spent every dime
  
   It's late
   We're 'bout to run out of gas
   It's late
   We got to get home fast
   Can't speed
   We're in a slow down zone
   Baby, look at that clock
   Why can't it be wrong
  
   Could've left home at a quarter to nine
   Could've had fun in plenty of time
   We got started just a little bit late
   I hope this won't be our last date
  
   Look up
   Is that the moon we see
   Can't be
   Looks like the sun to me
   It's late
   I hate to face your dad
   Too bad
   I know he's gonna be mad
  
   It's late
   We got to get on home
   It's late
   We been gone to long
