Lyrics Erasure – Stayed A Little Late Tonight

I just wanted everything to be perfect
But you would call me slightly OCD
You know that there’s a right time
A right place

There were nights when things you’d do would scare me
Your behaviour somewhat OTT

You know that now I have to question
Why I couldn’t leave it well alone
You were going that way while I was going this way
But we’d left that situation

Should’ve left when you said
You don’t live here no more
You’re just hanging around
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight

Well aware that you know
That we’ve been here before
And you’re pulling me down
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight

I guess it must be something in my make-up
I can be my own worst enemy

This ain’t a two-way conversation
Why I couldn’t listen long a go?
Thought I could handle your rejection
Stand up on my own but I’m walking on a tightrope

Should’ve left when you said
You don’t live here no more

Well aware that you know
That we’ve been here before
And you’re pulling me down
I stayed a little late tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
