Working Late Tonight

(album: Amii Stewart - 1983)

I saw you through the doorway
I watched you hold her tight
You said let's go to your place
You said let's go and spend the night

And you laughed as you spoke
Oh, but I don't see the joke
You walked throughout the door
And out my life

And now I shut into my raincoat
It's easy to disguise
I ought to make my mind up
Or hide the pain behind my eyes

Oh, I work night and day
In this small old café
Finding that the more
I work the less I hurt

I'm working late tonight
I'm doing double time
Hiding from emotion and I'm so tired
Love is still in motion and I find

I'm working late tonight
I'm doing double time
'Cause being to working late tonight
Helps keep you off my mind

So now I'm washing dishes
And getting dirty hands
While you get her three wishes
I'm still cleaning pots and pans

Well, we say life is tough
At the top that's fair enough
But living at the bottom's not so hot

I'm working late tonight
I'm doing double time
Hiding from emotion and I'm so tired
Love is still in motion and I find

I'm working late tonight
I'm doing double time
'Cause being to working late tonight
Helps keep you off my mind

And you laughed as you spoke
Oh, but I don't see the joke
You walked throughout the door
And out my life

Ooh ooh
I'm working late tonight
I'm working late tonight

Ooh ooh
I'm working late tonight
I'm working late tonight

Ooh ooh
I'm working late tonight
I'm working late tonight

Ooh ooh
I'm working late tonight

I'm working late tonight

I'm working late tonight

I'm working late tonight

I'm working late tonight
