Love is no excuse for what we're doing For we both know that two hearts could break We tell ourselves we've got to have each other But love is no excuse for us to make Sure we love each other and that could be so right But not if someone else has got to pay Our love for each other looks good in the night 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 it's 'cause we love each other But love is no excuse for what we've done It's been going on for much too long now And our wrongs have mounted one by one We tell ourselves it's 'cause we love each other But love is no excuse for what we've done
