Love Is No Excuse- featuring Dottie West Lyrics

Jim Reeves & Dottie West

B: Love is no excuse for what we're doing
What's more we know that two hearts could break
We tell ourselves we've got to have each other
But love is no excuse for us to make.

J: Sure we love each other and this could be so right
D: But not if someone else has got to pay
J: Our love for each other looks good in the night
B: But our love should never see the light of day.

It's been going on for much to long now
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselve it's 'cause we love each other
But love is no excuse for what we've done.

--- Instrumental ---

It's been going on for much to long now
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselve it's 'cause we love each other
But love is no excuse for what we've done...

Key: J = Jim Reeves, D = Dottie West, B = Both
