Excuses

Excuses, excuses

They're all I ever hear

Spilling out of your mouth

Like a flow of endless tears

You say were busy

You couldn't answer the phone

But even I reach you

You seem to postpone

Thirty minutes tick by

Sometimes even an hour

Why won't you respond

Have your excuses gone sour

Have you used them all up

Can you think of no more

Are you scared I will find out

About what you really did next door

It's not that I don't trust you

Sometimes you can be sweet

It's just I don't believe you

When you say you had a meet

Excuses, excuses

They're all I ever hear

Why can't you just stay

At least for a year
