Rhythm & Blues Alibi

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi

You can sell your soul and lay the blame all on the passersby

You shake your body on the tv screen

It seems to me, you'd try anything twice

And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac

You can give it to me, to me

Plain to see that I'll give it your back

You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it

Anyone can try anything twice

Try anything twice

Chasin' after stories that have already been told

Could not look old sun house in the eyes

Unaware you carry such a fragile load

But I've got yours, and you've got mine

It's a rhythm & blues alibi

La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la

You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise

You can give it your all 'cause you are walkin' a fine, fine line, line

You shake your booty on that TV screen

Seems to me, you'd try anything twice

You'd try anything twice, well, lemme hear you now

Chasin' after stories that have already been told

Could not look old sun house in the eyes

Unaware you carry such a fragile load

And I've got yours, you've got mine

It's a rhythm & blues alibi

La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la...
