The Best Excuse in the World (Is the Truth)

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
