Alibi Lyrics

By Joe Walsh and Richard Starkey


YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE
WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.
YOU LOOKED IN MY EYES
AND I COULD TELL YOU NO LIE.
I WAS MAKING LIFE, FEEL ALL RIGHT,
BUT IT WASN'T GOOD.
LOOKIN' AT YOU, LOOKIN' AT ME,
I KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTOOD.

I'VE BEEN DOWN FOR SO LONG,
LOOKING FOR A GOOD DISGUISE.
FEELIN' SORRY FOR MYSELF,
I DIDN'T REALISE.
THAT I WAS DIGGING HOLES,
ACTING ROLES
WITH NO LINES TO SAY.
I WAS LOSING SLEEP, COUNTING SHEEP
THAT NEVER WENT AWAY.

I WAS WAITIN' FOR YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE,
MAKING UP STORIES OR LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

NOW WE'RE TOGETHER,
IT'S GONNA BE NEVER
WE'LL BE PARTED AGAIN.
I'VE LOVED YOU SINCE THE DAY WE MET
AND THAT WAS WAY BACK WHEN
I WAS MAKING LIFE, FEEL ALL RIGHT
IN THE SAME OLD WAY. (same old way)
I'M DIGGING HOLES,
ACTING ROLES
WITH NO LINES TO SAY

I WAS WAITIN' FOR YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE,
MAKING UP STORIES, LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

OOH, LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

(scat sing)

OH, MAKING THOSE ALIBIS.

(scat sing)

OH, LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

(scat sing)
