Excuses

“I’m out again
Working late
Can’t make our dinner date
But babe, I’ll meet you at your place, tonight”

“I miss you
I’m lonely
And baby you’re the only
Woman that I’m thinking about,” yeah right

Pre-Chorus:
Girl, you oughta know better
Don’t you fall for it now

Chorus:
He’s a liar
He’s a cheater
He’s an offense repeater
And you deserve better than this
He won’t change
Can’t be bothered
You say he’s a fixer-upper
But, don’t make excuses for him
No, no excuses

“I’m friendly
A harmless flirt
I wasn’t looking at her skirt
And no, she isn’t even my type,” okay

“I’m not your boyfriend
Just play it cool
Labels are so high school
Settling down just isn’t the trend, these days”

Pre-Chorus:
Girl, you oughta know better
Don’t you fall for it now

Chorus:
He’s a liar
He’s a cheater
He’s an offense repeater
And you deserve better than this
He won’t change
Can’t be bothered
You say he’s a fixer-upper
But, don’t make excuses for him
No, no excuses

“You’re too needy
High maintenance
Don’t talk about the future tense
You’re moody
You’re jealous, too
I don’t have time to deal with you
You’ll love me
Forever
You won’t find someone better
You need me
To stay around
To lift you back up off the ground”

Pre-Chorus:
Girl, you oughta know better
Don’t you fall for it now

Chorus:
He’s a liar
He’s a cheater
He’s an offense repeater
And you deserve better than this
He won’t change
Can’t be bothered
You say he’s a fixer-upper
But, don’t make excuses for him
No excuses
No excuses for him

This lyric can be anything. the meter is awesome, Squishy whoever you are you have real direct way of saying things. It doesn't come off judgmental or no it all, it just comes out as your saying your piece.

I do think the second part of the chorus can be tightened up a bit.

Great write.

I like this also, good job. I do think the line "offense repeater" kinda sounds forced a little to make the rhyme. The term "Repeat Offender" is used more in every day life and still rhymes, maybe you might try that. But over all good job. Keep up the good work.

I get a country feel.

I like a lot of the lines;offense repeater is a great twist on Repeat Offender.Only would change the line "I wasn't looking at her skirt"to"I wasn't looking UP her skirt"it's got that vulgar vibe which is Rock'n'Roll!

@RickeyJoe: Thank you! And yes, I did have a country song in mind when I wrote this.
@KathyB: Thank you for the suggestions!
@LooknGlass and Doug Denslowe: Thank you guys also for the suggestions! I also worried that "offense repeater" was going to sounds kind of forced, so it's good to see both sides of the argument, lol.
