Excuses
The dog ate my homework
When I turned around
My humor was stolen
By a circus clown
I was abducted by aliens
Is the reason I'm late
To pick you up
For our dinner date
I dropped the ball
With the sun in my eyes
Are a few of the excuses
And the reason why
I either do or I don't
Do the things that I do
So I'll stick with them all
As my excuse
I must have forgot
There was a time change
As my clock stopped
On the very same day
I lost my wallet
With your number inside
This would be the truth
If it wasn't a lie
I ran out of gas
So I had to hitchhike
I made a left
Instead of a right
I either do or I don't
Do the things that I do
So I'll stick with them all
As my excuse
