Pardon Me For Loving and Running

Yes it was swell, sure it was great
But I just remembered a subsequent date
It isn't that it wasn't perfectly stunning
But pardon me for loving and running
Mmmm, it was grand, that much is plain
But bubbles don't last in the best of champagne
I like your savoire faire, your manners are cunning
But pardon me for loving and running
I really gotta fly,
I got a hat to buy
I got my nails to be shined
I've got a train to catch,
I've got an egg to hatch
Besides, what's the difference, can't I change my mind?
Thanks for the tea, crumpets and ball
And did I say thanks for the use of the hall?
And as we say in French, excuse le pun
Pardon me if I love and run
You men are all alike
Give your finger and you want the whole arm
A lady's got to go sometime
So why get excited?
Where's the fire?
Who's ignited?
You better turn off that alarm
Now look, fun is fun but I've got work to do
And when I'm through I'm definitely through
Gotta fluctuate,
I've got some books to plate
I've got my laundry to dry
I've got to pluck a duck,
I've got to change my luck
Besides, I'm through, so why do I need an alibi?
Thank you so much, thanks for the waltz
Your feet was too fast but we all have our faults
So just unlock that door and lay down that gun
It's hard on you
It's hard on me
But pardon me if I love and run
