In the song "Excuse Me," Sullivan Jazmine opens by saying "Oh, give me just a minute, just a second, I got a get it." It seems like the singer is addressing her partner who thinks they have won her heart. She then goes on to say "Ain't no competition when you're winning," which implies that her love is not something that is earned, but it’s something that comes naturally. Sullivan says that her partner’s love for her makes her feel like she could be “dreaming because you can't be real.” This reveals that the singer is overwhelmed by the intensity of her partner’s love for her, which she believes is too good to be true.
In the chorus, Sullivan Jazmine declares that her partner’s love for her “makes me so happy,” but it also “makes me cry,” and she acknowledges that her partner is “looking at me, probably thinking you won, baby!” The singer then apologizes for sounding crazy, given that her partner has already won her love. She asks her partner to continue loving her in the way that they do and to give her their all, saying “Love me like you do, give me what you give to me,” which implies that her partner's love is unparalleled, and she is entirely devoted to them. Sullivan then describes how her partner’s love motivates her and makes her want to keep their home clean and cook for them. She concludes by saying "Your love takes me higher, higher!" which shows that her partner's love for her is vital and something that she cherishes deeply.

Jazmine Sullivan's "Love Me Back" is still one of my top favorite albums of all time.
This particular song, "Excuse Me," is about a woman who loves her man so much that she just can't put it in words or show it in her actions. It's all she is and she shows her appreciation to him for being the love of her life. I love this track so much and some nights, I just need to go back to the golden era of R&B music.
Take a listen and become immersed in her lovely vocals.
LaTasha D. Hester
Lord knows what this song does to me & for me. Her voice is rare and everything. That raspiness & soulfulness. Give her Flowers now!! Cause she deserves them all.
Duwayne Tyree
This is my FAVORITE song on this album!!! Her voice is so beautiful and rich like the old school women. I also looooove her background vocals, reminds me of Tweets background vocals. Not that they sound alike but they are the same style.
