Excuse Yourself Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been crying tears, but
They ain't mine for too long
Too long
Been writing bad checks from an account
That's been closed all along

[Chorus]
Please excuse me if I'm out of style
But I just haven't played this game in a while
And I wouldn't want these clumsy lips
Getting in the way of your good time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Just to be frank, for a second, I did think
That I might, might've loved you right
Got me all mixed up in your blue eyes
Although I tried with all my might

[Chorus]
Oh, please excuse me, but it's you to blame
Saying you don't happen to feel the same
I know that I ain't much to write home about
But I didn't come to play this game

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now you seem to prefer a certain kind of girl
Who's adept at breaking hearts
And I must confess I couldn't be less
I wouldn't know right where to start

[Chorus]
Please excuse me if I'm out of line
When I place bets on your breaking mine
But I'll be cashing in as you're stumbling
Out the door wasting your last dime
Please excuse me if I'm out of style
But I just haven't played this game in a while
And I'll be cashing in as you're stumbling
Out the door wasting your last dime
