[Verse 1]

Catch me a dime for charity

Because perfect change is what matters to me

Pinch every penny and stroll to the bank

Beg for a loan on my humble estate

Timmy, Georgie, sweet Benjamin

My terrible friends

They never call or even pretend

To worry about me when money is thin



[Chorus 1]

I can't afford to fall in love

No I can't afford to fall in love

(Excuses, excuses)

Yeah I got plenty of other (excuses, excuses)

I can't afford to fall in



[Verse 2]

No time for this, no time for that

No time for patience, no time for all that

No time to know that I'm out of my league

No time to get myself back on my feet

No time for you, no time for me

No time for lessons, no time to be free

No time for good times of sweet memories

No time for stragglers or sympathy



[Chorus 2]

'Cause I don't have time to fall in love

I don't have time to fall in love

(No no no not today)

(Tomorrow is too far away)

(Can I change before my time runs out?)



[Bridge]

I can't wait for the phone to ring

I can't wait for summer, I can't wait for spring

I can't wait for someone who can't wait for me

I can't wait to fall in love



[Bridge]

I can't wait for the phone to ring

I can't wait for summer, I can't wait for spring

I can't wait for someone who can't wait for me

I can't wait to fall in love



[Bridge]

I can't wait for the phone to ring

I can't wait for summer, I can't wait for spring

I can't wait for someone who can't wait for me

I can't wait to fall in love



[Outro]

I just can't wait

Oooh

Excuses, excuses, excuses

Oooh

Excuses, excuses, excuses



(phone ringing)
