[Verse 1]I've been crying tears, butThey ain't mine for too longToo longBeen writing bad checks from an accountThat's been closed all along[Chorus]Please excuse me if I'm out of styleBut I just haven't played this game in a whileAnd I wouldn't want these clumsy lipsGetting in the way of your good time[Instrumental Break][Verse 2]Just to be frank, for a second, I did thinkThat I might, might've loved you rightGot me all mixed up in your blue eyesAlthough I tried with all my might[Chorus]Oh, please excuse me, but it's you to blameSaying you don't happen to feel the sameI know that I ain't much to write home aboutBut I didn't come to play this game[Instrumental Break][Verse 3]Now you seem to prefer a certain kind of girlWho's adept at breaking heartsAnd I must confess I couldn't be lessI wouldn't know right where to start[Chorus]Please excuse me if I'm out of lineWhen I place bets on your breaking mineBut I'll be cashing in as you're stumblingOut the door wasting your last dimePlease excuse me if I'm out of styleBut I just haven't played this game in a whileAnd I'll be cashing in as you're stumblingOut the door wasting your last dime
