Sweet Alibis

Sweet Alibis - Carmen McRae

Can't take no mare of your sweet alibis

Yesterday's lies

Friendless goodbyes

I've had my fill of you sweet alibis

When I look in your eyes

It's driving me crazy

Four in the morning and I hear you coming in

I'm trying to pretend

I don't know where you've been

How could the fire suddenly go bad

Or am I losing something I never had

Each night I lay so cold in your arms

Telling myself

You still love me

And every day gets harder to hide

Something has died

And it's driving me crazy

Driving me crazy

Driving me crazy

And though I know I'd be better alone

I just can't let go

Of the best love I've known

But could I live without your sweet alibis

Don't look in my eyes

You're driving me crazy

Driving me crazy

Driving me crazy
