[Intro]

Hoohoo, baby (uh)

Ohoohoh, ohoohohohoh

Oohoohooh, yeaheheah

Ohoohohoh

[Verse 1]

Now it's gettin’ late (about 3 one morning)

Still awake and on the red eye

I been workin' all day and just need a chance to relax

So I can lay my head back and close my eyes

Then a hand leans on my shoulder

And I turn around and she says:

"Excuse me, but I can't be late

Could you show me to Gate #28?"

[Pre-Chorus]

But I, I never got to tell her ’cause

I really didn't know where it was

Cause when I first laid my eyes on her

I couldn't even tell you where my head was

[Chorus]

I wish her flight had been delayed

Cause I woulda never let her get away

But my mind and my lips wouldn't tell me what to say

Now she's turning for Gate 28

I reached out my hand to pull her back

But she was gone and she didn't even turn around

I should've gotten her name

Before she ran away to Gate #28

[Verse 2]

I guess I kinda messed up

My time wasn't on my side

I mighta let a good one slip

Right outta my life

And all I saw was the color of her hair

And what she wore

So I hope she forgot about something

So she could come back through that door

[Pre-Chorus]

I never got to tell her ’cause

I really didn’t know where it was

Cause when I first laid my eyes on her

I couldn't even tell you where my head was

[Chorus]

I wish her flight had been delayed

Cause I woulda never let her get away

But my mind and my lips wouldn’t tell me what to say

Now she's turning for Gate 28

I reached out my hand to pull her back

But she was gone and she didn't even turn around

I should've gotten her name

Before she ran away to Gate #28
