Up till now I used to pass my time
|
Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine
|
No God, air, water or sunshine
|
And honesty was my only excuse
|
I took your love and I used it
|
|
Up till now my youthful stage
|
A useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge
|
A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made
|
And honesty was my only excuse
|
I took your love and I used it
|
|
I never, I never, I never
|
|
Up till now my love life
|
A few sweet kisses, a little missus, a fork and knife
|
a happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam
|
And honesty was my only excuse
|
I took my life in my own hands and I abused it
|
|
Up till now I used to tap dance
|
Take a girl by the hand saying I need your, I need your romance
|
Oh I had so many chances
|
And honesty was my only excuse
|
I took your love and abused it
|
|
Up till now the path of life was fair enough
|
Enough was fair, all was right
|
And now I know, I see the light
|
And honesty was my only excuse
|
