EXCUSE ME MR.
(G. Stefani, T. Dumont)


Oh I'm like a beggar with no luck 
I'm holding signs up 
On your streetcorner stops
Like most you try not to see me
Stare straight ahead
Ignore the responsibility 

Excuse me... excuse me Mr. 
Well I've been waiting in line
And I'd like to buy some of your time
I'm very anxious, eager, willing 
What's your billing? (anxious eager willing)

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr. 
I've known you too long 
All I need is a little of your time

Oh for most love comes for free 
They don't pay the high cost 
Of mental custody 
I'll pay bail for a guarantee 
Make space for me
In the time yet to be 

Excuse me... excuse me Mr. 
Well I've been waiting in line 
And I'd like to buy some of your time
I've been saving up my life, 
What's your price? (saving up my life)

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr. 
I've known you way too long boy
All I need is a little of your time

What should I do 
I'm about to crack
And there's a force 
That comes over me
It's almost as if
I'm tied to the tracks 
I'm waiting for him 
To rescue me 
The funny thing is 
He's not going to come 
He's not going to find me 
This is a matter of fact 
The desire you lack 
This is the way I guess it has to be... 
A little of your time
I need a little of your time
Please, a little of your time 
I need a little of your time
Please, a little of your time yeah

So please excuse me Mr. 
You've got things all wrong 
You make it feel like a crime 
So don't confuse me Mr. 
I've known you way too long boy
All I need is a little of your time

Ooh I'm in line to buy time
I'm in line to buy time
I'm in line to
I'm in line to
Excuse me
Well I've been waiting in line
Excuse me
Excuse me Mr.
