The Alibi
I saw it in your eyes on the night that we met
Devil in disguise, lover, I won't forget
Caught me by surprise, baby, I was a mess
And, of all my mistakes, you're the one I regret
Shut down in the middle of June (middle of June)
Cried all summer 'cause I've waited for you (waited for you)
But you ran away, never told me the truth
And, looking at it now, what was I meant to do?
I (you know I) had (had to) to (say) say goodbye
But if there was a crime
If there was a body, if there was a knife
If you told a real good, real bad lie
I'd be standing by your side
If there was a way (if there was a way)
That someone at the scene had saw your face
I could tell 'em where you were that night
You were standing by my side
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Alibi
For a moment you were having a bath
I was drowning in the weight of your love
Never thought that you would just cut it off
But it was magic (a goddamn tragedy)
And maybe I should just let it be
But I'd do anything to keep you with me
Only you could make a catastrophe
Seem romantic (oh, you're such a bad habit)
You know I had to say my goodbye
But if there was a crime
If there was a body, if there was a knife
If you told a real good, real bad lie
I'd be standing by your side
If there was a way (if there was a way)
That someone at the scene had saw your face
I could tell 'em where you were that night
You were standing by my side (we)
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Alibi
Sometimes
I wonder if the memories keep you up at night
(Does it kep you up at night?)
Of you and I
We're destined for disaster, must've lost my mind
'Cause I would be the alibi-bi-bi-bi
But if there was a crime
If there was a body, if there was a knife
If you told a real good, real bad lie
I'd be standing by your side
If there was a way (if there was a way)
That someone at the scene had saw your face
I could tell 'em where you were that night
You were standing by my side
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Oh, I could be your alibi-bi-bi-bi
Alibi
La coartada
Lo vi en tus ojos la noche en que nos conocimos
El diablo disfrazado, amante, no olvidaré
Me tomaste por sorpresa, cariño, estaba hecho un desastre
Y, de todos mis errores, tú eres el que lamento
Cerrado en medio de junio (en medio de junio)
Lloré todo el verano porque te esperé (te esperé)
Pero te escapaste, nunca me dijiste la verdad
Y, mirándolo ahora, ¿qué se suponía que debía hacer?
Tuve (sabes que tuve) que (tuve) decir adiós
Pero si hubiera un crimen
Si hubiera un cuerpo, si hubiera un cuchillo
Si contaras una mentira muy buena, muy mala
Estaría a tu lado
Si hubiera una forma (si hubiera una forma)
De que alguien en la escena hubiera visto tu rostro
Podría decirles dónde estabas esa noche
Estabas a mi lado
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Coartada
Por un momento estabas tomando un baño
Yo me estaba ahogando en el peso de tu amor
Nunca pensé que simplemente lo cortarías
Pero fue mágico (una maldita tragedia)
Y tal vez debería dejarlo estar
Pero haría cualquier cosa para mantenerte conmigo
Solo tú podrías convertir una catástrofe
En algo romántico (oh, eres un mal hábito)
Sabes que tuve que decir adiós
Pero si hubiera un crimen
Si hubiera un cuerpo, si hubiera un cuchillo
Si contaras una mentira muy buena, muy mala
Estaría a tu lado
Si hubiera una forma (si hubiera una forma)
De que alguien en la escena hubiera visto tu rostro
Podría decirles dónde estabas esa noche
Estabas a mi lado (nosotros)
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Coartada
A veces
Me pregunto si los recuerdos te mantienen despierto por la noche
(¿Te mantienen despierto por la noche?)
De ti y yo
Estamos destinados al desastre, debo haber perdido la cabeza
Porque sería la coartada-da-da-da
Pero si hubiera un crimen
Si hubiera un cuerpo, si hubiera un cuchillo
Si contaras una mentira muy buena, muy mala
Estaría a tu lado
Si hubiera una forma (si hubiera una forma)
De que alguien en la escena hubiera visto tu rostro
Podría decirles dónde estabas esa noche
Estabas a mi lado
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Oh, podría ser tu coartada-da-da-da
Coartada
