Teena Marie - Alibi Lyrics
Photographic memoriesScanners of our love affairLike we were the L.A. TimesThe headlines read "Beware"I don't deal in hearsayCalculation ain't my gameBut today I see youAnd I hang my head in shameLipstick on your collar, and the color isn't mineWhite lines on the dresser, and you even drank my wineBabe your face is flushedIt's more than just a hunchTell me what's this fearMaybe she's still hereBaby you're an alibiYou cross your heart and hope to diePromising to tell no liesBaby you're an alibiLooking out the windowI can hear the engine roarCobalt Blue PanteraDashes through the garage doorNow you cry injustice and synthetic violinsEvery night outside my doorA candle in the windLipstick on your collar, and the color isn't mineWhite lines on the dresser, and you even drank my wineBabe your face is flushedIt's more than just a hunchTell me what's this fearMaybe the picture's clearBaby you're an alibiYou cross your heart and hope to diePromising to tell no liesBaby you're an alibiBabe your face is flushedIt's more than just a hunchTell me what's this fearMaybe the picture's clearI flash back to another time zoneWhen you were late most most every nightI was a prisoner by my own deviceAnd what about your distant cousin?You know the one that lives in FranceNo introduction, only a Harlequin RomanceOoo alibisLove, lines, angles and rhymesAlibisYou crossed your heart and hoped to die
