Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I beg your pardon, hello darling
This is me you're talkin' to
Sit down and tell me about it
You don't have to shout it at me
Tell me what you really want to do
[Verse 2]
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're tryna justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
[Verse 3]
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig gets deeper
You better stop and climb out
I'm trying to give it all to you (All to you)
(But baby) Baby, I can see right through you
Sometimes you lose what it's all about
[Verse 4]
Don't give me no alibis
Can't go through life tryna justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
[Verse 5]
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're tryna  justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
[Verse 6]
The mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig is gettin' deeper
You better reach and pull yourself out
No one's ever gonna love you the way that I love you
And I never want to see you doin' without
[Verse 7]
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're tryna justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
[Verse 8]
(Alibis)
No untrue stories you're tryna justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
