Alibi Lyrics - Elvis Costello

You did it 'cause you wanted 

Alibi, alibi 

And you took it 'cause you need it 

Alibi, alibi 

But if I've done something wrong 

There's no ifs and buts 

'Cause 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You deserve it 'cause you're special 

Alibi, alibi 

Maybe Jesus wants you for a sunbeam 

Alibi, alibi 

But if I've left something out 

I apologize 

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, alibi 

Insane, what a mundane 

Alibi, alibi 

And you only wanted to be famous 

Alibi, alibi 

Photos 

Sorry, but your mommy 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 

'Cause 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 

But if I've left something out 

I apologize 

But if you look in my eyes 

Then I'm sure you'll see 

Alibis, alibis, alibis 

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 

And maybe we can make the future better 

Alibi, alibi 

But if I've done something wrong 

There's no ifs and buts 

'Cause I love you just as much 

As I hate your guts 

Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi 

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, 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 

'Cause I love you just as much 

As I hate your guts 

But if I've left something out 

I apologize 

But if you look in my eyes 

Then I'm sure you'll see 

Alibis, alibis, alibis, alibis
