Alibi Songtext
Songtext powered by LyricFind
She sits one more night alone
A victim to each call on the telephone
He's the criminal and the crime
She's given bail just one last time
When he enters she can smell
A victim to each call on the telephone
He's the criminal and the crime
She's given bail just one last time
When he enters she can smell
Another scent mixed with tobacco
Crushed magnolia, sweaty skin
A lipstick mark under his chin
Oh, don't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that
It's his alibi
He creeps in across the room
Noisily removes his shoes
Slides besides her, smells her hair
Like he's not been anywhere
Whispers softly in her ear
Sweet excuses, like they're a lullaby
Tells her that he loves her so
And holds her like he won't let go
Oh, can't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that
It's his ali-
Bye bye, goodbye to all the plans you made
Of showing him the door
Of making him lie in the bed he made
He pulls you under, catches your tears with a kiss
Then flashes a smile to remind you
Just why you fell for a man like this...
Memory selects the truth, puzzle pieces are removed
He's her reason, he's her rhyme
A reason to try one last time
Everybody makes mistakes - a secret sin, a tiny lie
He tells her that he loves her so
Winds her up and ties a bow
Oh, can't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that
Oh don't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that,
A girl never smells a rat,
When a man has a smile like that
It's his alibi
Crushed magnolia, sweaty skin
A lipstick mark under his chin
Oh, don't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that
It's his alibi
He creeps in across the room
Noisily removes his shoes
Slides besides her, smells her hair
Like he's not been anywhere
Whispers softly in her ear
Sweet excuses, like they're a lullaby
Tells her that he loves her so
And holds her like he won't let go
Oh, can't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that
It's his ali-
Bye bye, goodbye to all the plans you made
Of showing him the door
Of making him lie in the bed he made
He pulls you under, catches your tears with a kiss
Then flashes a smile to remind you
Just why you fell for a man like this...
Memory selects the truth, puzzle pieces are removed
He's her reason, he's her rhyme
A reason to try one last time
Everybody makes mistakes - a secret sin, a tiny lie
He tells her that he loves her so
Winds her up and ties a bow
Oh, can't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that
Oh don't you see baby
He's only gonna make you cry
When a man has a smile like that,
A girl never smells a rat,
When a man has a smile like that
It's his alibi
