I Made My Excuses and Stayed (1991)

Lyrics: Will Birch/ Music: Bobby Valentino

I only popped in for the one

To pick up the gossip

And sup up and run

One or two minutes at best

But there was this new face

and I was impressed

She sat at my table

And sippped lemonade

I made my excuses and stayed

This angel ignored me at first

I quickly developed

A suitable thirst

Suddenly I caught her eye

And uttered a greeting

To hear her reply

"It's tough for a girl on her own I'm afraid"

I made my excuses and stayed

I hadn't intended to linger

Our sense were quick to react

There was a ring on her finger

I chose not to dwell on that fact

We talked for a hour or two

She stuck to her soda

She held on like glue

This woman was winning my vote

With each Shirley Temple

That slipped down her throat

Her laughter grew louded

The orchestra played

I made my excuses and stayed

They rang the last orders bell

I offered to walk her

Back to her hotel

I started to say my goodbye

Right there in the lobby

She started to cry

One kiss was enough

I confess I was swayed

I made my excuses and stayed

I made my excuses and stayed
