You Don't Need Excuses To Be Good Lyrics - Commonwealth - Sloan

He was old enough to know 

So when he asked if the impossible were true 

She thought he wanted to 

Tell it like it is, and so she did 

He had experienced the innocence of being a kid 

But she wanted 

Readiness to be rewarded 

Sweetheart, keep your curiosity 

If people have a problem, they can deal with me 

I don't mind if I do offend 

Cuz 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 

Cuz now his eyes were fully open 

Exactly what she had been hoping

Sweetheart, thought I'd never think it, still 

Nothing's gonna be if you just wish it will 

I don't mind if I do offend 

Cuz I think it's understood 

The lights are on, must we all pretend? 

That we need excuses to be good 

But some remain in the dark 

Even now (so someone tell me) 

How (a culture could) 

Allow (this to be and I) 

Vow, you don't need excuses! 

Now (but someone tell me) 

How (the culture could) 

Allow (this to be, take no) 

Vow. It only confuses 

You don't need excuses to be good.
