Alibi Lyrics by Bear Mountain

Badu

2016

It’s another night; I sit and choke a lie
Broken pieces of a story make an alibi
I want to know where you’ve been, who you’re with
And what you do, what you’ve got to do
It’s the little things you do that cut like a lie
Keeping distance and an exit in the back of your mind
I don’t want it if you give it with a limit on it
Go if you want to go
[Chorus]
I lie awake in the dead of night
Wait for you to come home and get your story right
Hearts burning from the fire that you lit up inside
It's your word to mine
What's your alibi?
But you ran away; it makes me miss you instead
See your face and apparitions in the back of my head
Are you waking up or are you sleeping in?
No, I don’t want to know
I heard you’re with someone, that he bought you a ring
May get money and a diamond; gives you everything
I’ll believe it when you want me to forgive you
So I’ll go if I've got to go
[Chorus]
I lie awake in the dead of night
Wait for you to come home and get your story right
Hearts burning from the fire that you lit up inside
It's your word to mine
What's your alibi?
It's another night; I sit and wait on the bed
I could run away and try to make you love me again
I don’t want to know where you’ve been creeping in
In a hotel with someone else
[Chorus]
I lie awake in the dead of night
Wait for you to come home and get your story right
Hearts burning from the fire that you lit up inside
It's your word to mine
What's your alibi?
What's your alibi?
What's your alibi?
It's another night; I sit and wait on the bed
I could run away and try to make you love me again
