Alibi
[Intro]
I don't know what I was thinking about
I don't know what's wrong with me, should've been there
Oh wow
Oh wow
[Verse 1]
It's five o'clock, I'm just getting home
Roaming on my own
What can I tell her
That she might understand?
Why does a man so in love
Spread himself so thin
When he could never, never win
In the end?
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, just the thought of me loosing her
Makes me wanna cover my tracks, baby
If I were to loose her love
I'd drown in a river of tears
[Chorus]
I need an Alibi
Or I'll be caught in the wrong
Don't wanna have to tell a lie (don't wanna have to tell a lie)
But the thought of me loosing her
I don't think I can handle that
Ooh
[Verse 2]
It's not as bad as it may seem
I keep finding trouble
Busting the bubble
Of the good life we've been sharing
It's best to be safe than sorry they say
Better to lie than to lose
Then I'll have it my way
For love
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooo, 'cause the thought of me loosing her
Makes me wanna cover my tracks, baby
If I were to loose her love
I'd drown in a river of tears
[Chorus (Extended)]
I need an Alibi
Or I'll be caught in the wrong
Don't wanna have to tell a lie (don't wanna have to tell a lie)
But the thought of me loosing her
I don't think I can handle that
I need an Alibi
Or I'll be without the one I love
Don't wanna have to tell a lie (don't wanna have to tell a lie)
But the thought of me loosing her
I don't think I can handle that
[Bridge]
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean?
Hey—ay—ay—ay—ay—ay
Oooooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Talk to me Otis
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, the the thought of me loosing her
Makes me wanna cover my tracks, baby
If I were to loose her love
I'd drown in a river of tears
[Break]
Hey girl, I made a mistake and I'm sorry, baby
Oh I really love you, girl
I made a mistake and I'm sorry
[Chorus 2]
I need an Alibi
Or I'll be caught in the wrong
Don't wanna have to tell a lie (don't wanna have to tell a lie)
But the thought of you leavin'
Oh—oh, don't think I go on any longer
I need an Alibi
Or I'll be without the one I love
Don't wanna have to tell a lie (don't wanna have to tell a lie)
But the thought of you leavin'
I don't think I can handle that
I need an Alibi
Oh, baby
Don't wanna...
