It's late; very, very late
So why did you wait
To tell me you love me
when I was resigned to this fate
I'm unsure if I can forgive
the neglect, the lies, the wrongs
Your calling at this hour
with no flowers, no candy, no songs
I've given up on what
I thought to be a love so true
I was already in bed, asleep
You showed up out of the blue
So go home to your house
I shall stay in mine
The 22nd hour is past the time
Your overtures, I must decline
