20 Excuses

It's a shame you got to put on makeup today
 I think you look so fine
 You look best when you rise
 It's too bad that you had to leave
 Pay attention when you're drivin' down the street
 I told you so many times
 Where did you go? You were here yesterday
 Why did you leave? Why did you leave?
 And now I'm stuck here thinkin' about your face
 Why am I so weak? Why am I so weak?
 Just a quick — My love got into a wreck
 It didn't hurt you, but it got my chest
 How could I be so blind?
 And since that day, all I get is an excuse
 I'm sorry I can't see you fuckin' ra-ra-ra
 I heard 'em all so many times
 Where did you go? You were here yesterday
 Why did you leave? Why did you leave?
 And now I'm stuck here thinkin' about your face
 Why am I so weak? Why am I so weak?
 When you were here, we did nothing but fight
 But now that you're gone, my life's without light
 I really want to work this out
 But twenty excuses come out of your mouth
 Just when I thought I'd never be alone again
 You turn around and said we should be friends
 I really want to work this out
 But twenty excuses come out of your mouth
 And it's so hard to stop calling you around the clock
 Just so I can sleep, I'm always here when you're free
 And now it's plain to see, You're getting bored with me
 Where did you go? You were here yesterday
 Why did you leave? Why did you leave?
 And now I'm stuck here thinkin' about your face
 Why am I so weak? Why am I so weak?
 When you were here, we did nothing but fight
 But now that you're gone, my life's without light
 I really want to work this out
 But twenty excuses come out of your mouth
 Just when I thought I'd never be alone again
 You turn around and said we should be friends
 I really want to work this out
 But twenty excuses come out of your mouth
 Why do you look so fine?
