(Egan/Rafferty)

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"?
Ooooh, la-la-la, oooh
I wonder why I stay when everybody's gone, yeah,
There's always something there, that keeps me hanging on
Ooooh, la-la-la, oooh
I wonder why I stay when everybody's gone away,
There's always something there, that keeps me hanging on
I know that I can show some respect, especially when I'm wrong
Late again, when I get home you'll be waiting
