[Verse] Ringin' 'round midnight, your voice on the line A little too late, but you sayin' youâre fine The moonâs hangin' heavy, stars blinkinâ slow You stayed too long, baby, but I canât say no [Pre-Chorus] Whiskeyâs sittin' lonely, glass half gone You call me up just to sing your song [Chorus] You stayed too long, baby, the nightâs grown wide But Iâm hooked on the sound of your sweet, late-night ride You stayed too long, darlin', got me feelin' strong Canât hang up this heart when you call me home [Verse] Your laughterâs rollinâ like a slow river flow Every word hangin' heavy, like a smokey show The clockâs foolinâ with shadows, timeâs outta place But when youâre whisperinâ honey, I donât wanna race [Pre-Chorus] This weary soulâs findinâ fire in the dark Every word you say ignites a spark [Chorus] You stayed too long, baby, the nightâs grown wide But Iâm hooked on the sound of your sweet, late-night ride You stayed too long, darlin', got me feelin' strong Canât hang up this heart when you call me home [Bridge] Midnight confessions in a crooked tune Weâre dancinâ with shadows under a silver moon A little lost time, a little too late But honey, these momentsâI just canât hate [Chorus] You stayed too long, baby, the nightâs grown wide But Iâm hooked on the sound of your sweet, late-night ride You stayed too long, darlin', got me feelin' strong Canât hang up this heart when you call me home [Outro] Yeah, you stayed too long... but I ainât complaininâ Late-night talkinâ, loveâs sweet remaininâ You stayed too long... and baby, Iâm stayinâ On the line with you till the dawnâs first breakinâ
