[Intro]
(Bi-bi-bi-bi)
(I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi)
(I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi)
(Alibi)
[Verse 1]
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 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?
[Pre-Chorus]
I (You know I) had (Had to) to (Say my) say goodbye
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
For a moment you were Heaven above
I was drowning in the weight of your love
Never thought that you would just cut it off
What was magic (Ended up damn tragic)
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I had to say my goodbye
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Sometimes
I wonder if the memories keep you up at night
(Does it keep you up at night?)
Of you and I
We're destined for disaster, must have lost my mind
(Oh-oh) 'Cause I would be the alibi-bi-bi-bi-bi
[Chorus]
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
The Alibi was written by Dylan & Matt Schwartz & Jonny Coffer & Ines Dunn.

“The Alibi” is my Bonnie and Clyde anthem. Except I nearly let Clyde ruin my life. For me the song was written about having to let go of a relationship that meant a lot to me – despite it not being a healthy one – and wanting to express how much that person still meant to me after. I think the harde...
