I Made My Excuses And Stayed lyrics

I Made My Excuses and Stayed (1991)

Lyrics: Will Birch/ Music: Bobby
Valentino







I only popped in for the one

To pick
up the gossip

And sup up and run

One or two minutes at best

But there was this new face 

and I was impressed

She sat at my
table

And sippped lemonade

I made my excuses and stayed



This angel ignored me at first

I quickly developed

A suitable
thirst

Suddenly I caught her eye

And uttered a greeting

To
hear her reply

"It's tough for a girl on her own I'm afraid"

I made
my excuses and stayed



I hadn't intended to linger

Our sense
were quick to react

There was a ring on her finger

I chose not to
dwell on that fact



We talked for a hour or two

She stuck to
her soda

She held on like glue

This woman was winning my vote 

With each Shirley Temple

That slipped down her throat

Her
laughter grew louded 

The orchestra played

I made my excuses and
stayed



They rang the last orders bell

I offered to walk
her

Back to her hotel

I started to say my goodbye

Right there
in the lobby

She started to cry

One kiss was enough

I confess
I was swayed

I made my excuses and stayed

I made my excuses and
stayed
