Alibi
Elvis Costello Song Lyrics





You did it 'cos you wanted
Alibi, alibi
And you took it
'Cos you need it
Alibi, alibi

But if I've done something wrong there's no ifs and buts
'Cos 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 'cos you're special
Alibi, alibi
Maybe Jesus wants you for a sunbeam
Alibi, alibi

But if I've left something out
I apologise
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…

Insane, what a mundane
Alibi, alibi
And you only wanted to be famous
Alibi, alibi
Sorry, but your mummy 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
'Cos 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

Chorus

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
Maybe we can make the future better
Alibi, alibi

Chorus

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 when 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
'Cos I love you just as much as I hate your guts
But if I've left something out
I apologise
But if you look in my eyes
Then I'm sure you'll see…
Alibis, alibis, alibis…
