Honey, honey, won't you quiet it down?
We've got a problem, got the cops all around screaming at me -
no, I can't tell you why -
but if we try and keep it quiet maybe we can both lie

Hey officer, we didn't know we were loud
We'll take it home and keep the curtains pulled down
There ain't a problem, no, we've just had a fight,
and we were picking up the pieces when the two of you arrived

'Round 4 o'clock she comes and knocks on my door
You know it was so loud it couldn't be ignored
My temper's short, it brushed my patience aside,
and before I could control it I was on the outside (screaming)

It's 4 o'clock, 4 o'clock in the morning baby
It's 4 o'clock, only hours of sleep left
It's 4 o'clock, go to sleep in your bed
So take it home, oh baby girl and give your boyfriend a rest
