From the recording The Tide Will Turn Again
Lyrics
You just keep fooling around
Now you keep up your rambling
drinking night and day
don’t forget your gambling
just throw it all away
you don’t need no excuses
you're just gonna let me down
you don’t need no excuses
you just keep on fooling around
You roam around the gutter
in every inch and yard
telling me to shut up
while you’re tearing it apart
you don’t need no excuses
you're just gonna let me down
you don’t need no excuses
you just keep on fooling around
If I didn’t need you baby
I would be so fine
but I keep hoping maybe
you’ll straighten up in time
need no excuses
you're just gonna let me down
you don’t need no excuses
you just keep on fooling around
I’m gonna tell you so long
I’m gonna say goodbye
I hear a different tongue
but still the same old lies
need no excuses
you're just gonna let me down
you don’t need no excuses
you just keep on fooling around
