Could you help me out? Does sentence one have the same meaning as sentences two or three? Which one is better and why? Thanks a lot.:-D

1. I'd love to go with you, but I'm beat.
2. I will not be able to go with you because I'm beat.
3. I will not go with you because I'm beat.

Please note that the adjective 'beat' is chiefly an AE slang word for 'exhausted'.
