Excuse Me

Down at the end of 34th 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
Oh, but all she'll be meeting is a letter from me
Delivered by my closest friend, and it'll read

Excuse me, ah, 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, oh

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, oh, yeah

Yeah, my buddy and me, we live by the sea
And we play the local pub to make the rent
And on the weekends we get blind, and we drink our share of wine
And forget about more girls than 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, oh

Excuse me, ah, 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
Ah, but forever's awful long and I'd only do you wrong
You might never trust a man again, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

I know it's tearin' you apart
You're hatin' me with all your heart
All I wanted was to really be your friend
Hope someday you will excuse the crazy tactics that I used
I'm doin' you a favor in the end, ooh, ooh

Excuse me, ah, excuse me
I'm a restless, uncontrollable man
And I really must confess, I'm rather immature at best
Or I'd have the guts to see you again

Excuse me, don't confuse me
All those things I said in bed, I really meant
Now I'm walking in the rain, only got myself to blame
You might 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 again
Excuse me

I'm walking in the rain

(Excuse me, excuse me) Oh, yeah
I'm a restless, uncontrollable man
(Excuse me, excuse me) Oh, excuse me
I can't see you again
(Excuse me, excuse me)
