Lyrics

By joe walsh and richard starkey

You came into my life
When I was looking for an alibi
You looked in my eyes
And I could tell you no lie
I was making life, feel all right
But it wasn't good
Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
I knew you'd understood

I've been down for so long
Looking for a good disguise
Feelin' sorry for myself
I didn't realise
That I was digging holes
Acting roles
With no lines to say
I was losing sleep, counting sheep
That never went away

I was waitin' for you to come into my life
Making up stories or looking for an alibi

Now we're together
It's gonna be never
We'll be parted again
I've loved you since the day we met
And that was way back when
I was making life, feel all right
In the same old way. (same old way)
I'm digging holes
Acting roles
With no lines to say

I was waitin' for you to come into my life
Making up stories, looking for an alibi

Looking for an alibi

Ooh, looking for an alibi

(Scat sing)

Oh, making those alibis

(Scat sing)

Oh, looking for an alibi

(Scat sing)
