Alibi

I know that look in your eye

I've seen it before

Think I'd be used to it now

But I beg for more

I know you've been staying out late

I hear you when you come in

I pretend to be sleeping

So we don't have to act like friends

My nights are not the only lonely time

Morning’s just me and the birds

I cry and look out the window

And I just can't wait to hear your alibi

I know I don't know her

But I bet she looks good

She probably got a fancy job

And works in the office like you

I'm sure she don’t have the time to think about

Who you're married to

Poor girl, I’m sure it's hard enough

To concentrate on you

My nights are not the only lonely time

The morning’s just me and the birds

I cry and look out the window

And I just can't wait to hear your alibi

A starch white shirt

Perfectly clean house

You never noticed it anyhow

When she gets through

Draggin’ you dry

Looking for a shoulder a safe place to cry

Well I'm over here baby

Look in my eye

Cause this is the last time

I listen to your

Alibi

My nights are not the only lonely time

Morning’s just me and the birds

I cry and look out the window

And I just can't wait to hear your alibi

Oh I guess I’ll have to miss your Alibi
