[Verse 1]
You're closin' off for the night
And not a soul left inside
You've had a long hard day
Don't make it harder on yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody needs some time, take some time just to get away
Baby, I can find some time, I've got time
Everybody needs some time, take some time just to get away
Baby, I can find some time, I've got time on my hands

[Chorus]
After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm outta my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours

[Verse 2]
Too many bills to pay (Ooh)
But all the loose cents can wait
You've had far worse days (Ooh)
So pour a drink, I'll do the same

[Chorus]
After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm outta my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours
[Bridge]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
Everybody needs some time, take some time just to get away (Ooh)
Baby, I can find some time, I've got time on my hands

[Chorus]
After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm outta my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, mm, after hours
After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm outta my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours
