lyrics

Sweet talk, those words couldn't lie
My eyes were wide open but you still got inside
Was so sure this feeling was right
I was praying and hoping that you'd nothing to hide

But soon I saw right through your clever illusion
You're playing with mind, yeah
You just make your own truth but there's no confusion
Your love is a lie, yeah

It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi

Soon I was eating out of your hand
Knowing I wouldn't see this was part of your plan
What chance did I ever stand
Cos you know all my weakness like the back of your hand

You got me feeling so grateful for crumbs from the table
I don't understand, yeah
How you got me so crazy willing and unstable
You don't give a damn

It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi

Caught in a web of deceit (it's all smoke and mirrors baby)
I saw what I wanted to see (oh yes I did)
Oh just a sweet fantasy (just a fantasy baby)
Not what I thought it would be

It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi
It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi

Caught in a web of deceit (it's all smoke and mirrors baby)
I saw what I wanted to see (oh yes I did)
Oh just a sweet fantasy (just a fantasy baby)
Not what I thought it would be

Aint gonna cry, aint gonna cry no more
All you do is lie, lie, lie, lie.
Not gonna fall not gonna fall any more
Oh babe, its just an alibi
Oh yeah babe, your love is a lie, its just an alibi
Oh baby baby, your love is a lie, your love is a lie
Oh babe, its just an alibi
