You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I’m lightin’ up the sky, settin’ fire to your paradise
You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi
You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I’m lightin’ up the sky, settin’ fire to your paradise
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I’m lightin’ up the sky, settin’ fire to your paradise
You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi
You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi
I thought that you were mine
And that you would never lie
For in front of my eyes
You were like shadows in the daylight (Ooh, oh)
I never would’ve guessed that I’m the other girl
You couldn’t confess but you let me find the
Search and mess, and you protest
But you got no legs to stand on
Tell me, how do you lie (How do you lie) so easily? (So easily)
You’ve been messin’ with her (Oh, yeah), don’t mess with me
Tell me, how do you lie so easily?, mm
You’ve been messin’ with her (Ooh, oh), don’t mess with me, yeah, yeah, hey
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night (You were with me)
So I’m lightin’ up the sky (Hey, yeah), settin’ fire to your paradise
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I’m lightin’ up the sky, settin’ fire to your paradise
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
You got no alibi
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
No, no
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
That’s right, oh, I got prices fr you
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
Hey, where were you last night?
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
You got no alibi
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
Oh, no
You ain’t got no alibi
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
(You ain’t got no, you ain’t got no, you ain’t got no alibi)
Why were we so blind? Blinded by your lies?
You ain’t got no alibi
