[ Both ]

Love is no excuse for what we're doing

For we both know that's two hearts could break

We tell ourselves it's cause we love each other but love is no excuse for us to make

[ Jack ]

Sure we love each other and it could be so right

[ Jeannie ]

But not if someone else have got to pay

[ Jack ]

Our love for each other looks good in the night

[ Both ]

But our love can never see the light of day

It's been going on for much too long now and our wrongs have mounted one by one

We tell ourselves we've got to have each other

But love is no excuse for what we've done

[ fiddle ]

It's been going on...

No love is no excuse for what we've done
