Alibi

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I'm sure it's complicated And I'm sure your story goes way back But you're looking desperate lately And now is not the time to look like that I don't know if he did it and I won't ask There's a lot of good women with a lot of bad backs Your man said something heavy, it already looks bad Careful what you carry on his behalf And I know he's thinking of you too Not the type to snitch and run but But sometimes they say it's the plain truth 99 problems, uh [Chorus] Well, I don't don't need need need to know But there's a set of my keys left under your door And If you need a place to sleep tonight That's what family's for I don't don't need need need to know But I'd put on my best fresh little black dress And go get seen tonight Work on that alibi of yours [Verse 2] I don't mean to be your mother Got my own kids to raise And I don't aim to blow your cover It's your own hell to pay But the word on the street is a page out of Blake Your man made money, but he made mistakes Now the revelation's coming, looks to you for a break You've always been cunning with those brave escapes But take a minute now, think this through Give it a second and a bird's eye view Think of the moments you've got left to lose Like how much time are you really down to do? [Chorus] Well, I don't don't need need need to know But there's a set of my keys left under your door And if you need a place to sleep tonight Well, that's what family's for I don't don't need need need to know But I'd put on my best fresh little black dress And go get seen tonight Work on that alibi of yours [Verse 3] Now I've seen the way that you count your blessings Like hatch marks on the wall And I've seen you coming out of Sunday confession With a numbered list and all Now I don't bow my head for supper I never do kneel besides my bed But it looks like your afterlife is covered I hope on Earth you're careful, kid [Bridge] 'Cause I don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't, well I don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't, I don't [Chorus] Well, I don't don't need need need to know But there's a set of my keys left under your door And if you need a place to sleep tonight Well, that's what family's for I don't don't need need need to know But I'd put on my best fresh little black dress And go get seen tonight Work on that alibi of yours
