Shakey Graves - Excuses Lyrics
[Verse 1]Catch me a dime for charityBecause perfect change is what matters to mePinch every penny and stroll to the bankBeg for a loan on my humble estateTimmy, Georgie, sweet BenjaminMy terrible friendsThey never call or even pretendTo worry about me when money is thin[Chorus 1]I can't afford to fall in loveNo I can't afford to fall in love(Excuses, excuses)Yeah I got plenty of other (excuses, excuses)I can't afford to fall in[Verse 2]No time for this, no time for thatNo time for patience, no time for all thatNo time to know that I'm out of my leagueNo time to get myself back on my feetNo time for you, no time for meNo time for lessons, no time to be freeNo time for good times of sweet memoriesNo time for stragglers or sympathy[Chorus 2]'Cause I don't have time to fall in loveI don't have time to fall in love(No no no not today)(Tomorrow is too far away)(Can I change before my time runs out?)[Bridge]I can't wait for the phone to ringI can't wait for summer, I can't wait for springI can't wait for someone who can't wait for meI can't wait to fall in love[Bridge]I can't wait for the phone to ringI can't wait for summer, I can't wait for springI can't wait for someone who can't wait for meI can't wait to fall in love[Bridge]I can't wait for the phone to ringI can't wait for summer, I can't wait for springI can't wait for someone who can't wait for meI can't wait to fall in love[Outro]I just can't waitOoohExcuses, excuses, excusesOoohExcuses, excuses, excuses(phone ringing)
