Excuse Me

Down at the end of Thirty-Fourth Street

Where the ocean washes up to the land

That's where I'll find her waiting for me

With a ticket and a suitcase in her hand

And she'll be dressed so elegantly

And her hair will be dancin' in the wind

But all she'll be meeting is a letter from me

Delivered by my closest friend

Excuse me, excuse me

I'm a restless uncontrollable man

And I haven't got the grace

To meet you face to face

And tell you I can't see you again

Excuse me, Don't confuse me

All those things I said in bed

I really meant

But forever's awful long

And I'd only do you wrong

You might never trust a man again

My buddies and me

We live down by the sea

And we play the local club to pay the rent

And on the weekends we get blind

And we drink our share of wine

And forget about more girls that most guys get

But none of them, it's true

Ever shared a spot with you

And I don't believe there'll ever be again

So if you could be so kind

Try and read between the lines

Oh and honey, just remember me at my best

I know it's tearin' you apart

You're hatin' me with all your heart

All I wanted was to simply be your friend

Hope someday you will excuse the tactics that I used

'Cause I'm doin' you a favor in the end
