[00:43.88][Verse]
[00:45.08]He liked to keep his women looking nice
[00:48.11]And tried to pay her phone bill
[00:49.60]But she turned him down twice
[00:51.77]Even though her life wasn't sunny
[00:53.70]She felt him she didn't know him well enough to take his money
[00:56.73]Instead, she recommended quiet dinner
[00:59.48]Maybe next weekend and she could find a babysitter
[01:02.85]Her daughter was three and she was twenty-one
[01:05.09]With, dreams of marriage and having a son
[01:07.70]But most times she felt like she'd never find love
[01:10.87]So she drank away the pain in blood stained night clubs
[01:14.00]And when home with men that acted like thugs
[01:16.80]Addicted to the night life, like drugs
[01:19.62]But regrets of the morning after always caught her
[01:22.44]Waking up with men unfamiliar to her daughter
[01:25.52]Even though they gave her an escape from lonely days
[01:28.24]She never felt better than when they parted ways
[01:30.72]
[01:31.03][Hook]
[01:31.24]Oh there's no.. excuse for loving..
[01:41.61](Inaudible)
[02:16.90]
[02:25.52][Verse]
[02:28.27]"Nothing special," she thought when his path crossed her mind
[02:31.58]He could never be the one, just, occupy her time
[02:34.43]And fill the lonely days that'd become so basic
[02:37.30]Since her heart was torn from the broken off engagement
[02:40.39]Two years ago and three states away
[02:42.87]But by the look in her brown eyes you would've thought it happened yesterday
[02:45.95]Now this new with intention to impress
[02:48.64]Bought her tennis shoes and a brand new summer dress
[02:51.83]If you could see the smile on her face
[02:54.52]And how it washed away the work week's bitter taste
[02:57.34]Plus this was the week of her born day
[03:00.08]The sun ray in a life of all work and no play
[03:03.35]He said he wanted her to spend it with him
[03:05.99]But, she said she'd already committed to her friends
[03:08.91]He denied her invitation to come along
[03:11.71]And told her to call when she got home
[03:14.27]
[03:14.50][Hook]
[03:14.87]Oh there's no.. excuse for loving..
[03:25.50](Inaudible)
[03:48.54][Verse]
[03:49.11]She pulled into the parking lot
[03:51.75]Startled when she saw him standing right behind her in the dark
[03:54.78]Demanding she tell him who she slept with today
[03:57.27]Smelling the liquor on his breath she began to walk away
[04:00.35]He grabbed her by throat yanked off the gold chain
[04:03.30]And almost smiled, satisfied at her pain
[04:06.36]He though of this her reward for being unfaithful
[04:09.26]Lifted from her feet tears roll down her cheek
[04:12.16]And terrified, she closed her eyes
[04:14.56]While the storm made it impossible to hear her cries
[04:17.98]He knew this, and struck with a clenched fist
[04:21.79]And told her he wasn't stupid
[04:23.88]She's now pinned to the ground
[04:26.78]With his hand on her mouth to muffle the sounds
[04:29.27]Knee planted in her chest until breathing hurt
[04:32.19]He said she forced him to take back his tennis skirt
[04:35.17]Much stronger she offered very little resistance
[04:38.33]To him taking back the clothes that he'd given
[04:40.94]Then he cocked back his fist for one last blow
[04:43.89]And left her in the parking lot knocked out cold
