Always An Excuse

There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
A way, a reason for someone
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
A way, tiptoe around the turncoat today
Which mood is it gonna be today?
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always
Shut it down
Get it right
Cause a person can win if you don't even put up a fight
Get it right
Everyone has got something that keeps them awake in the night
That's a fact
Don't think of the times that you let up and gave out some slack
Take it back
Don't think your the only one goin' through it
Take it back
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one...
There's always an excuse when you need one
A way, a reason for someone
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
A way, tiptoe around the turncoat today
Which mood is it gonna be today?
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always
Shut it down
Get it right
Cause a person can win if you don't even put up a fight
Get it right
Everyone has got something that keeps them awake in the night
That's a fact
Don't think of the times that you let up and gave out some slack
Take it back
Don't think your the only one goin' through it
Take it back
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one...
