   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
