Teena Marie - Alibi lyrics
[Teena Marie - Alibi lyrics]
Photographic memories
Scanners on our love affair
Like we were the LA times
The headlines read, 'Beware'
I don't deal in hearsay
Calculation ain't my game
But today I see you
And I hang my head in shame
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe she's still here
Baby, you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're an alibi
Looking out the window
I can hear an engine roar
Cobalt Blue Pantera dashes through
The garage door
Now you cry injustice and synthetic violins
Every night outside my door
Acandle in the wind
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe the picture is clear
Baby, you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're an alibi
Ooh ah, baby ooh ah, alibi
Ooh ah, baby ooh ah, alibi
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe the end is near
Alibi
You crossed your heart and hoped to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're just an alibi
Alibi
You crossed your heart and hoped to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're just an alibi
You're just an just an, just an, just an
Alibi
You crossed your heart and hoped to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're just an alibi
I flash back to another time zone
When you were late most every night
I was a prisoner by my own device
And what about your distant cousin?
You know the one that lives in France
No introduction, only a harlequin romance
Ooh, alibi (Love, lines, angles and rhymes)
Alibis
You crossed your heart and hoped to die
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby alibis
You're gonna hurt me, baby alibi
Scanners on our love affair
Like we were the LA times
The headlines read, 'Beware'
I don't deal in hearsay
Calculation ain't my game
But today I see you
And I hang my head in shame
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe she's still here
Baby, you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're an alibi
Looking out the window
I can hear an engine roar
Cobalt Blue Pantera dashes through
The garage door
Now you cry injustice and synthetic violins
Every night outside my door
Acandle in the wind
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe the picture is clear
Baby, you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're an alibi
Ooh ah, baby ooh ah, alibi
Ooh ah, baby ooh ah, alibi
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine

It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear

Alibi
You crossed your heart and hoped to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're just an alibi
Alibi
You crossed your heart and hoped to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're just an alibi
You're just an just an, just an, just an
