I'm sorry now that I'm a little late
I apologize 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 color 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
Ooh-ooh-ooh
My alibi
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Mmm, 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) mmm
Yeah, I've still gotta come down
My alibi
She walked into my life and started up a riot
Of color 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, mmm-mmm
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) mmm
I've still gotta come down
My alibi
She walked into my life and started up a riot
Of color 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
Mmm
She was my alibi
Yeah, alibi, alibi, alibi
My alibi
Alibi, alibi, alibi
Mmm
