Alibi

I know that look in your eye
I've seen it before
Think I'd be used to it now
But I beg for more
I know you've been staying out late
I hear you when you come in
I pretend to be sleeping
So we don't have to act like friends

My nights are not the only lonely time
Morning's just me and the birds
I cry and look out the window
And I just can't wait to hear your alibi

I know I don't know her
But I bet she looks good
She probably got a fancy job
And works in the office like you
I'm sure she don't have the time to think about
Who you're married to
Poor girl, I'm sure it's hard enough
To concentrate on you

My nights are not the only lonely time
The morning's just me and the birds
I cry and look out the window
And I just can't wait to hear your alibi

A starch white shirt
Perfectly clean house
You never noticed it anyhow
When she gets through
Draggin' you dry
Looking for a shoulder a safe place to cry
Well I'm over here baby
Look in my eye
Cause this is the last time
I listen to your
Alibi

My nights are not the only lonely time
Morning's just me and the birds
I cry and look out the window
And I just can't wait to hear your alibi
Oh I guess I'll have to miss your Alibi
