ALIBI

[Verse 1]
I’m sorry now
That I’m a little late
I apologise, that you had to wait
It totally slipped my mind
I lost all my sense of time
So buy me that drink
And just let me think
And I’ll tell you the reasons why...

[Chorus]
My alibi!
She walked into my life
And started up a riot
Of colour & fire!
We woke up in my bed
And then we never left
And brother I’m tired!
She said I was fool
For only seeing trouble
She opened up my eyes
And now I’ve seen the light
My alibi!

[Post Chorus]
Ooo ooo ooo
My alibi!
Ooo ooo ooo
My alibi!

[Verse 2]
She heard my songs
On the radio
She heard a voice mmm
She had to get to know
So she travelled a thousand miles
And when I saw her
It blew my mind
I knew we’d connect
The moment we met
She made it all worth while...

[Pre Chorus]
But I
I’ve still gotta come down, mmmm!
(down down down down)
Yeah, I’ve still gotta come down!

[Chorus]
My alibi!
She walked into my life
And started up a riot
Of colour & fire!
We woke up in my bed
And then she never left
And brother I’m tired!
She said I was fool
For only seeing trouble
She opened up my eyes
Mmmmm mmm

[Bridge]
And now the New York lights
Are in her sights
So soon, she’ll say goodbye
Will those summer dreams
And autumn leaves survive?
But I
I’ve still gotta come down
(down down down down)
I’ve still gotta come down!

[Chorus]
My alibi!
She walked into my life
And started up a riot
Of colour & fire!
She woke up in my bed
And then she never left
And brother I’m tired!
She said I was fool
For only seeing trouble
She opened up my eyes
And now I’ve seen the light...
My alibi!

[Outro]
Alibi, alibi, alibi, yeah!
My alibi!
Alibi, alibi, oh my
Mmm!
She was my alibi
Yeah! Alibi, alibi, alibi
My alibi!
Alibi, alibi, alibi
Mmm!
