( Excuses song lyrics )
EXCUSES, EXCUSES
Copyright © 2000 - mickterry.com

1: There's the bed just the way we left it:
with the covers piled on the floor,
and the sheets something more than rumpled,
when we bolted right out the door.

2: I've been late for my work so often
that the boss has been threatening me.
But it's so good with you each morning
that we really don't want to leave.

CHORUS:
Excuses, excuses. They'll get the best of me.
Excuses, excuses. The tangled webs I weave.
My mind is racing faster as it searches to create
all these silly dumb excuses for why I'm always late.

3: Dodging traffic as I am weaving,
as I'm making up for lost time.
Who the hell could I be deceiving?
Who the hell would buy all these lines?

BRIDGE:
Well, my brand new car broke down again:
the "gadgulator" broke this time.
I was up all night with a sickly friend.
And my grandma keeps on dying.
And the freeway was a parking lot.
There was a fire in my yard.
And my boss just stands and he shakes his head
as if I'm a total retard.
CHORUS:

4: We forgot to reset the alarm last night
for the fourth night in a row.
And on top of that I am really sick.
Thank your stars that I even showed.

5: It's a real solid dedication
that would have me keep coming back.
Oh, so much could be said for loyalty
and the need for that weekly check.
CHORUS:
