Sergio Mendes
Alibis
[Verse 1]
It's nothing I can put my finger on
But it's there, I swear
It's not somethin' I'm imaginin'
Each time you call
I know I'll get your "working late" routine again

[Pre-Chorus]
Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

[Chorus]
I'm sure your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa-oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I know your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin' away from me

[Verse 2]
Your telephone service says you're out again
Somewhere out there you've got another rendezvous
I know the way you work
You'll be someplace where no one can check up on you
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you're in the clear but don't forget
That's exactly the way we met

[Chorus]
I'm sure your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa-oh, but I know you're slipping away from me
I know your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
You're slippin' away from me

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

[Chorus]
I'm sure your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Oh, but I know you're slipping away from me, ooh
I know your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell
I know the pattern much too well
[Outro]
I said I know your alibis are water-tight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa-oh, but I know you're slipping away from me, oh
