Late again

When I get home you'll be waiting

Still you know there ain't no use in you complaining

I know that I can show some respect

Especially when I'm wrong

But when I get back I know you'll say

'You've been away too long.'



I wonder why I stay

When everybody's gone (yeah)

There's always something there

That keeps me hanging on.



ooooh, la-la-la

ooooh, la-la-la



I wonder why I stay

When everybody's gone (away)

There's always something there

That keeps me hanging on.



I know that I could show some respect

Especially when I'm wrong

Late again

When I get home you'll be waiting.
