Alibi Lyrics by Ringo Starr

Old Wave

1983

[Verse 1]
You came into my life when I was looking for an alibi
You looked in my eyes and I could tell you no lie
I was making life feel all right, but it wasn't good
Looking at you looking at me, I knew you understood

[Verse 2]
I've been down for so long, looking for a good disguise
Feeling sorry for myself, I didn't realize
That I was digging holes, acting roles with no lines to say
I was losing sleep, counting sheep that never went away

[Chorus]
I was waiting for you to come into my life
Making up stories or looking for an alibi

[Verse 3]
Now we're together, it's gonna be never we'll be parted again
I've loved you since the day we met and that was way back when
I was making life feel all right in the same old way
Like digging holes, acting roles with no lines to say

[Chorus]
I was waiting for you to come into my life
Making up stories, looking for an alibi
Looking for an alibi

[Outro]
Oh, looking for an alibi
Oh, making those alibis
Oh, looking for an alibi
