Lyrics

You did it 'cause you wanted Alibi, alibi And you took it 'cause you need it Alibi, alibi But if I've done something wrong There's no ifs and buts 'Cause I love you just as much As I hate your guts Alibi, alibi, alibi And you don't need anybody Alibi, alibi But you are the only one who knows this Alibi, alibi You deserve it 'cause you're special Alibi, alibi Maybe Jesus wants you for a sunbeam Alibi, alibi But if I've left something out I apologize But if you look in my eyes Then I'm sure you'll see Alibis, alibis, alibis Sometimes I'm so forgiving Everything seems bad to me But I can't go on living With this alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi Insane, what a mundane Alibi, alibi And you only wanted to be famous Alibi, alibi Sorry, but your mommy doesn't love you Alibi, alibi Stop me if you've heard this Alibi, alibi But if I've done something right Then don't be surprised There are soldiers who will kill But refuse to die But if I've done something wrong There's no ifs and buts 'Cause I love you just as much As I hate your guts Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi You were weak, you couldn't help it Alibi, alibi But you never had a pony Alibi, alibi But if I've left something out I apologize But if you look in my eyes Then I'm sure you'll see Alibis, alibis, alibis And you're such a people person Alibi, alibi And I will be true to you forever Alibi, alibi But you're stupid and you're lazy Alibi, alibi And maybe we can make the future better Alibi, alibi But if I've done something wrong There's no ifs and buts 'Cause I love you just as much As I hate your guts Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi Sometimes I'm so forgiving Everything seems bad to me But I can't go on living With this alibi, alibi, alibi You were happy, you were poor And more honest and that's your Alibi, alibi Sister is a whore, brother isn't sure Alibi, alibi You don't fit the body that you're trapped in Alibi, alibi Papa's got a brand new Alibi, alibi But if I've done something wrong There's no ifs and buts 'Cause I love you just as much As I hate your guts But if I've left something out I apologize But if you look in my eyes Then I'm sure you'll see Alibis, alibis, alibis, alibis
