Ricky Nelson - It's Late (1959) 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 shoulda checked our time

Can't phone, can't phone

We done spent every 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

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

It's late
