give me one excuse not to lose sleep over you,
'cause I have, and I do, and tonight I'm likely to again,
any simple fault, some bad habit you conceal from view,
maybe small, to remind me why I'm better off:
your secret drug addiction, some random skin affliction, anything at all..
atrocious table manners, bad breath or sloppy grammar
even something small to show me why I'm better off..
I could be convinced that I'm not your charming prince
as I chill with the frogs who are waiting to be kissed,
& tell me once again why we're better off as friends,
there were reasons, I'm sure, I've forgotten what they were since then,
was it lack of motivation? political persuation? anything at all..
do you like Van Halen real loud? have a thing for bands with Umlauts?
(except for Husker Du, could you be the one to get me over you?

so give me one excuse not to lose sleep over you,
'cause I have, and I do, and tonight I'm likely to again
yeah I have, and I do, and tonight I'm likely to again...
