LATE AGAIN
(Joe Egan, Gerry 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
'specially when I'm wrong

but when I get back
I know you say
you've been away too long

(oooh) I wonder why I stay
when everybody's gone
yeah
there's always something there
that keeps me hanging on (ooon)

ooolala lalalaaa

I wonder why I stay
when everybody's gone (away)
there's always something there
that keeps me hanging on (ooon)

I know that I
can show some respect
'specially when I am wrong

late again
when I get home
you'll be waiting
