Lyrics
Excuse Me Babe (c) 1977
You sure did land
On your own
When you took the stand
And you shone like a bright red gem
You matched the ends
The answer known
Where are all of your friends?
Well they are where you last left them
Excuse me babe, I thought you didn't need anyone.
Excuse me babe, I thought you didn't need anyone.
You play the part
With a moan
Of the broken heart
You feel best by yourself anyway
But you complain
When left alone
Standing in the rain
Not listening to any one say...
Excuse me babe, I thought you didn't need anyone.
Excuse me babe, I thought you didn't need anyone.
I guess that is
the price paid
To go through these stages
Hiding behind a blonde-black mask
Alone there when
all lights fade
facing it again
When you need help, you have to ask
Excuse me babe, I thought you didn't need anyone.
Excuse me babe, I thought you didn't need anyone.
