Текст пісні
I'm tired of lyin', peepin', and hidin'
And low-class places
Oh, I'm so tired, baby
I'm tired of worryin' whenever I come home late
With your lipstick traces
Oh, yes, I am, babe
You can rest assure my woman's no fool
She can tell I been lovin' you
Stealin' your love is gettin' harder and harder
The excuses I've been givin' just won't hold water
I'm runnin' out of lies (lies), lies (lies, lies)
Gettin' hard to think of an alibi
Runnin' out of lies (lies, lies, lies)
Gettin' hard to think of an alibi
Please say goodbye
I've got too many alibis (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Oh, yes, I do
I'm spreadin' myself a little too (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
I'm spreadin' myself a little too thin
Tryin' to do the job of too many men (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
You can rest assure my woman's no fool
She can tell just as good I been lovin' you
Stealin' your love is gettin' harder and harder
The excuse I've been givin', it won't hold water
I'm runnin' out of lies (lies), lies (lies, lies)
Gettin' hard to think of an alibi
Runnin' out of lies (lies), lies (lies, lies)
Gettin' hard to think of an alibi
No, my woman ain't no fool, y'all
She can tell just as good that I been out with somebody else
You know, a lot of times, I don't wanna talk about it
I try, I try to get it off of my mind
But then my conscience, you know everybody got a conscience
My conscience get to botherin' me
And when I'm tryin' to go to sleep at night
Seem like to me I can hear my conscience say, "Johnnie
You oughta be ashamed of yourself (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
You know you got a good woman, you oughta treat her right"
And I, I made a deal with my conscience
That if my conscience didn't bother me (doo-doo)
I sure wouldn't bother my conscience (doo-doo-doo-doo)
But every now and then, it comes around to me and tells me
"Johnnie, you, you know you been wrong, yes, you have"
A lot of fellas out there been wrong
You oughta go to your baby and tell her, "Honey
Oh, I'm sorry for takin' you through all of these changes
I'm sorry, baby, yeah, I'm sorry that I did you wrong
I'm sorry I broke your heart, baby"
And it seem like to me I'm runnin' out of lies (lies), lies (lies, lies)
It's gettin' hard to think of an alibi
Lies (lies), lies (lies, lies)
Is that your woman? (Gettin' hard to think of an alibi)
I'm runnin' out of lies (lies), lies (lies, lies)
Gettin' hard to think of an alibi
Lies
