"Alibi" lyrics

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...

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!

Ooo ooo ooo
My alibi!
Ooo ooo ooo
My alibi!

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...

But I
I've still gotta come down, mmmm!
(Down down down down)
Yeah, I've still gotta come down!

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

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!

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!

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!
