Alibi Lyrics & Chords By 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
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
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
