Lyrics to The Alibi
I saw it in your eyes on the night that we met
Devil in disguise, lover, I won't forget
Caught me by surprise, baby, I was a mess
And, of all my mistakes, you're the one I regret
Shut down in the middle of June (Middle of June)
Cried all summer 'cause I've waited for you (Waited for you)
But you ran away, never told me the truth
And, looking at it now, what was I meant to do?
I (You know I) had (Had to) to (Say) say goodbye
But if there was a crime
If there was a body, if there was a knife
If you told a real good, real bad lie
I'd be standing by your side
If there was a way (If there was a way)
That someone at the scene had saw your face
I could tell 'em where you were that night
You were standing by my side
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Alibi
For a moment you were having a bath
I was drowning in the weight of your love
Never thought that you would just cut it off
But it was magic (A goddamn tragedy)
And maybe I should just let it be
But I'd do anything to keep you with me
Only you could make a catastrophe
Seem romantic (Oh, you're such a bad habit)
You know I had to say my goodbye
But if there was a crime
If there was a body, if there was a knife
If you told a real good, real bad lie
I'd be standing by your side
If there was a way (If there was a way)
That someone at the scene had saw your face
I could tell 'em where you were that night
You were standing by my side (We)
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Alibi
Sometimes
I wonder if the memories keep you up at night
(Does it kep you up at night?)
Of you and I
We're destined for disaster, must've lost my mind
'Cause I would be the alibi-bi-bi-bi
But if there was a crime
If there was a body, if there was a knife
If you told a real good, real bad lie
I'd be standing by your side
If there was a way (If there was a way)
That someone at the scene had saw your face
I could tell 'em where you were that night
You were standing by my side
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Oh, I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Alibi
Devil in disguise, lover, I won't forget

But you ran away, never told me the truth
