[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...
