88 Fingers Louie

He stumbles in at night and the clock says 3 a.m.
The love of his life just wonders where on earth hes been
He cant explain himself, a poor excuse is all hes got
A mess of contradictions have his stomach tied in knots
She gets tired of waiting up all night
If he truly cared for her hed stay at home tonight
He says hes out with friends, then again he could be anywhere
She starts to have a nervous breakdown when he isnt there
She tried to call him on the phone and no ones there
No explanation - No explanation
No explanation can be given
Wide awake at night again. What is it gonna take?
He tries to speak, it makes her think his story is a fake
She cant take these fables anymore
What she wants to know is what the phone numbers are for
He cant explain himself, a poor excuse is all hes got
A mess of contradictions have his stomach tied in knots
