LATE AT NIGHT
Benny Sings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost and found my way
Keeping my head up
You know what they say
Don't forget, all we get,
Tough regret
Just slow down for now
Broad daylight
Follow my reason
Listen to my friends
Don't forget, all we get,
Tough regret
Just slow down, come on
Late at night, I think
About what we had
Try to find out (Find out),
What made you so mad
Late at night, I think
About what we had
Late at night, late at night
Late at night, I ask you why not
Share a lifetime with me, my love, oh
It was a miracle we even met at all
So get me out of this house
Easy now, open up the door
And I know I can't call you anymore
Don't forget, all we get, tough regret
Just slow down for now
Feelin' alright, such a lovely day
We're keeping in mind what other people say
Don't forget, all we get, tough regret
Just slow down, come on
Late at night, I think about what we had
Try to find out (Find out), what made you so mad
Late at night, I think about what we had
Late at night, late at night
Late at night, I ask you why not
Share a lifetime with me, my love, oh
It was a miracle we even met at all
So get me out of this house, my baby girl
My doll, baby baby girl
Try to find out what made you so made
Late at night, late at night
