Array ( [sid] => 129806 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Basketful of Excuses [time] => 2006-12-26 08:17:20 [hometext] => [bodytext] => (Refrain)
Don’t hand me that basketful of excuses
The ones you use to break my heart
Don’t need that basketful of excuses
That you use to explain why we’re apart

How can you simply explain away?
The days and nights I sit alone
You have so many excuses
You could at least pick up a phone

Time after time I give you one more chance
I hope that this time you would be true
But you come with that basket of excuses
And then go again leaving me lost and blue

(Refrain)
Don’t hand me that basketful of excuses
The ones you use to break my heart
Don’t need that basketful of excuses
That you use to explain why we’re apart

One last time I hear the reasons
Why you have been gone all week
But my heart no longer listens
And your lies are growing kind of weak

It’s time I move ahead without you
A long road I have to move along
But there won’t be any basketful of excuses
And I know I won’t have to sing this song

(Refrain)

Don’t hand me that basketful of excuses
The ones you use to break my heart
Don’t need that basketful of excuses
That you use to explain why we’re apart
