LATE MOVIE, THE
(Hank Cochran)


Tex Williams - 1963


I think I'll stay home and watch the late movie

They're havin' a party at Jimmy's
Jane and the gang will be there
I wanna go more than they know
But I can't let her know that I care

If I see her I might go to pieces
Might even break down and cry
So when they ask me to go to their party
Well I just tell 'em my favourite lie

Think I'll stay home and watch the late movie
My favourite actress is on
And I've waited so long for this movie
If you don't mind, I think I'll stay home

I know every one will be dancin'
Yeah, laughin', havin' a time
Now how can I go there and act like I don't care
When I'm goin' out of my mind

For I'm no good at hidin' my feelings
One look at me and they'd know
Just like before, I still love her
So I guess that I'd better not go

Think I'll stay home and watch the late movie
My favourite actress is on
And I've waited so long for this movie
If you don't mind, I think I'll stay home
If you don't mind, I think I'll stay home
