Up till now I used to pass my time

Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine

No God, air, water or sunshine

And honesty was my only excuse

I took your love and I used it



Up till now my youthful stage

A useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge

A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made

And honesty was my only excuse

I took your love and I used it



I never, I never, I never



Up till now my love life

A few sweet kisses, a little missus, a fork and knife

a happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam

And honesty was my only excuse

I took my life in my own hands and I abused it



Up till now I used to tap dance

Take a girl by the hand saying I need your , I need your romance

Oh I had so many chances

And honesty was my only excuse

I took your love and abused it



Up till now the path of life was fair enough

Enough was fair, all was right

And now I know, I see the light

And honesty was my only excuse
