Wakin’ up in someone else’s bed,
Was what I was waitin’ for
Oh my days what have I done,
She saw me sneaking out the door
What have I been waiting for,
Been wasting all my time
Watchin’ my youth slip away
Surely is a crime

And no, she don’t know what we do in our spare time
No she don’t know that we’ve been up all night
All night, all night, all night

We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning

We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning

Sun is up while I'm walkin’ home,
But my heads up in the clouds
Trying to get my self to bed
But I really don’t know how,

And no, she don’t know what I do in my spare time
No she don’t know that we’ve been up all night
All night, all night, all night

We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning

We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning

When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets

When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets

When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets

When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets

We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning

We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning
