Текст Sloan – You Don’t Need Excuses To Be Good

He was old enough to know
So when he asked if the impossible were true
She thought he’d want her to

Tell it like it is and so she did

Sweetheart, keep your curiosity
If people have a problem they can deal with me

I don’t mind if I do offend
‘Cause I think it’s understood
Kids can’t know, must we condescend?
They don’t need excuses to be good
Get off on good behaviour for now

But someone tell me how
A culture could allow this to be
And I vow they don’t need excuses to be good

Then the waterworks began
She took a moment to
Reflect on her decision
As tears obscured his vision

She gave his eyes a chance to dry
The chance she took was worth it
‘Cause now his eyes were fully open
Exactly what she had been hoping

Sweetheart, I thought it then and think it still
Nothing’s gonna be if you just wish it will

I don’t mind if I do offend
‘Cause I think it’s understood
The lights are on, must we all pretend
That we need excuses to be good

So someone tell me how
A culture could allow this to be
And I vow, you don’t need excuses

So someone tell me how
The cultured could allow this to be
Take no vow
It only confuses
You don’t need excuses to be good
