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

Now 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

And it'll read:

Excuse me, excuse me
I'm a restless, uncontrollable man
And I haven't got the grace to meet you face to face
To 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, no, not again

My buddies and me, we live down by the sea
And we play, play the local pub to pay the rent
But on the weekends we get blind, we drink our share of wine
And forget about more girls than most guys get

Not one of them, it's true, ever shared that spot with you
And I don't believe there'll ever be again
So if you would be so kind just to read between the lines
And oh honey, just remember me at my best

Excuse me, excuse me
I'm a restless, uncontrollable, uncontrollable man
And I haven't got the grace to meet you face to face
To 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, never trust a man again, no, no

(Excuse me, excuse me)
(Excuse me, excuse me)
(Excuse me)
(Excuse me, excuse me)
You might never trust a man
Excuse me, excuse me
I'm a restless, I'm a restless, I'm a restless
And uncontrollable man
