I met you on the corner, down in New Orleans

You were singing an old tune about Aberdeen

You didn’t speak my language, and I didn’t speak yours

But darling, you’re the cutest thing I’ve ever seen before

It’s almost like in some way we had met before

So you took my hand and brought me to the record store

Just like that, you turned with a certain glance

And you took my hand and asked me if I’d share this dance

The dance floor clears as we reach the top

And all the while, I turn to you to never stop

Something tells me where to run, it’s your big brown eyes

But if I fall too hard, I hope that there’s an Alibi

Alibi

Alibi

Something tells me where to run, it’s your big brown eyes

But if I fall too hard, I hope that there’s an Alibi

Woo!

(SOLO)

Just like that, you went back to your homeland

And I’m down here in the USA, just kicking sand

So I get down on my knees, and I begin to pray

That I see you on that road, that lost highway

If that don’t work, there’s nothing I won’t ever try

But if I fall too hard, I hope that there’s an Alibi

Alibi

Alibi

If that don’t work, there’s nothing I won’t ever try

But if I fall too hard, I hope that there’s an Alibi

Alibi

Alibi

If that don’t work, there’s nothing I won’t ever try

But if I fall too hard, I hope that there’s an Alibi
