Excuse Me (Live at the House of Blues)
[Intro]
Is everybody ready to party?
Are y'all ready to sing tonight?

[Chorus]
Hey, excuse me please
You sure looks good to me
With your straight hair or braids
Kinda got my mama's ways (Kinda got my mama's ways)
How about the possibility of you and I
Baby, can we try
Lady, say you're with it
If you're not with it, then excuse me

[Bridge]
Can't make you stay
If you want to go
Sugar, I can't make you love me
If your heart says no
But there's one thing I'm certain of
And you know it's true
Can't nobody love you like I do, like I do

[Verse 1]
The first time I saw your thighs
That's when I realized
My heart, it skipped a beat
I can't seem to make you see
I tried everything in my book
I'm laughing 'cause you won't even look
I gotta stop wasting my time, so excuse me please
[Chorus]
Hey, excuse me please
You sure looks good to me
With your straight hair or braids
Kinda got my mama's ways (Kinda got my mama's ways)
How about the possibility of you and I
Baby, can we try
Lady, say you're with it
If you're not with it, then excuse me

[Verse 2]
I'ma try this one more time
You look like virgin eyes
This one here might be true
And here's a few fools for you
I, I wanna be married but free
I gotta let the drama miss me
Could this apple fit on your tree?
If not excuse me please

[Bridge]
Can't make you stay (Say what?)
If you want to go
Sugar, I can't make you love me
If your heart says no
But there's one thing I'm certain of
And you know it's true
Can't nobody love you like I do, like I do
[Outro]
Baby, no, no
Said no, no
Can't nobody love you, baby
Can't nobody hook you, baby, like I do (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be alright (It's gonna be alright)
It's gonna be okay
Love's gonna be alright
(Hey, yeah, yeah) (Love's gonna be alright) (Gonna be alright)
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Love's gonna be alright
(Love's gonna be alright) (Yes, it is) (Alright)
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Love's gonna be alright
(Alright) (Ooh, ooh, ooh) (Sure 'nough will be)
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna okay
Love's gonna be alright
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Can't make you stay
