I'm sorry now
That I'm a little late
I apologise, that you had to wait
It totally slipped my mind

I lost all my sense of time
So buy me that drink
And just let me think
And I'll tell you the reasons why

My alibi!
She walked into my life
And started up a riot
Of colour and fire!

We woke up in my bed
And then we never left
And brother I'm tired!
She said I was fool

For only seeing trouble
She opened up my eyes
And now I've seen the light

My alibi!
Ooo-ooo-ooo
My alibi!
Ooo-ooo-ooo
My alibi!

She heard my songs
On the radio
She heard a voice mmm
She had to get to know
So she travelled a thousand miles

And when I saw her
It blew my mind
I knew we'd connect
The moment we met
She made it all worth while

But I
I've still gotta come down!
(Down down down down)
Yeah, I've still gotta come down!

My alibi!
She walked into my life
And started up a riot
Of colour and fire!

We woke up in my bed
And then she never left
And brother I'm tired!
She said I was fool

For only seeing trouble
She opened up my eyes
And now the New York lights
Are in her sights

So soon, she'll say goodbye
Will those summer dreams
And autumn leaves survive?

But I
I've still gotta come down
(Down down down down)
I've still gotta come down!

My alibi!
She walked into my life
And started up a riot
Of colour and fire!

She woke up in my bed
And then she never left
And brother I'm tired!
She said I was fool

For only seeing trouble
She opened up my eyes
And now I've seen the light

My alibi!
Alibi, alibi, alibi, yeah!
My alibi!
Alibi, alibi, oh my

She was my alibi
Yeah! Alibi, alibi, alibi
My alibi!
Alibi, alibi, alibi
Mmm!
