I'm Runnin' Late

I wonder why you said to drop by when it's already six-fifteen
It's been awhile since I've seen that smile and I remember what it used to mean
But my life is so different, I really am doing all right
And you ought to know your old stay-at-home beau's got to be someplace tonight
Cause I made me a promise, one I'm not gonna break
I ain't got time to wait, I'm running late


Goodness gracious what you've done with the place, it sure is a beautiful sight
And what you got on the table proves you know just what I like
Whatever's in the oven, it does smell mighty good
and you know I'd love to stay awhile, if I only could
But I made me a promise, one I'm not gonna break
I ain't got time to wait, I'm running late


Some might say the way you're looking today, you're coming on a little too strong
It's true those eyes could hypnotize, if I stare just a little too long
You know I'd better get moving, got a long long way to go
If I don't start my distractable heart might forget what little it knows
Cause I made me a promise, one I'm not gonna break
I ain't got time to wait, I'm running late
