The Best Excuse in the World (Is the Truth)

Lyrics

I can't be in love, here's why If you're in love you should know when you're in it Days leap from your window and fly Like another man's minutes, they'll pass you by I can't be in love, here's the proof Days leap from your window and fall They get down on their bellies and start to crawl So each lazy second is another man's hour Like one man's desert is another man's flower And one man's floor is another man's roof I can't be in love, no I can't be in love The best excuse in the world is the truth I can't be in love, now I know When you're in love, you can never forget it Regret never gets past your door He's off down the street, you'll see him no more I can't be in love, now it's clear Never aware of the change in the air No backing regret like a thief on the stairs Well all the good times were gone in a flash One man's treasure is another man's trash One man's floor is another man's roof I can't be in love, no I can't be in love The best excuse in the world is the truth
