[Verse 1]
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
Everything you know had a logical system to everything
Tear it into pieces go and tear it into pieces

[Verse 2]
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 left that situation

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
