Alibi Lyrics

It's 5:00, I'm just getting home,
Roaming on my own
What can I tell her,
That she might understand
Why does a man so in love,
spread himself so thin
When he could never, never win,
In the end
(Ooh) Just the thought of me loosing her
Makes me want to cover my tracks baby
If I were to loose her love,
I'd drown in a river of tears

I need an Alibi,
Or I'll be caught in the wrong
Don't want to have to tell a lie (Don't want to have to tell a lie)
But the thought of me loosing her
I don't think I can handle that

(Ooh) It's not as bad as it may seem,
I keep finding trouble
Busting the bubble,
Of the good life we've been sharing
Its best to be safe than sorry they say,
better to lie than to lose
Then I'll have it my way, more love
(Ooh 'cos) the thought of me loosing her
Makes me want to cover my tracks baby
If I were to loose her love I'd drown in a river of tears

I need an Alibi,
Or I'll be caught in the wrong
Don't want to have to tell a lie (Don't want to have to tell a lie)
But the thought of me loosing her
I don't think I can handle that

I need an Alibi,
Or I'll be without the one I love
Don't want to have to tell a lie (Don't want to have to tell a lie)
But the thought of me loosing her
I don't think I can handle that

Do you know what I mean,
Do you know what I mean
Heeeeeey Oooooo Talk to me Otis
(Hey) the thought of me loosing her
Makes me want to cover my tracks baby
If I were to loose her love
I'd drown in a river of tears

Hey girl, I made a mistake and I'm sorry baby
Oh I really love you girl,
I made a mistake and I'm sorry

I need an Alibi,
Or I'll be caught in the wrong
Don't want to have to tell a lie (Don't want to have to tell a lie)
But the thought of you leaving
Oh, Don't think I can go on any longer

I need an Alibi,
Or I'll be without the one I love
Don't want to have to tell a lie (Don't want to have to tell a lie)
But the thought of you leaving me
I don't think I can handle that
