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.
