I'm tired of lying, peeping and hiding And low class places Oh I'm so tired, baby
I'm tired of worrying, whenever I come home late With your lipstick traces Oh yes I am, babe
You can rest assured my woman's no fool She can tell I been loving you Stealing your love is getting harder and harder The excuses I been giving just won't hold water
I'm running out of lies Getting hard to think of an alibi Running out of lies Getting hard to think of an alibi
Please say goodbye
I've got too many alibis Oh yes I do
I'm spreading myself a little too thin Trying to do the job of too many men
You can rest assured my woman's no fool She can tell just as good I been loving you Stealing your love is getting harder and harder The excuses I been giving just won't hold water
I'm running out of lies Getting hard to think of an alibi Running out of lies Getting 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 bothering me And when I try to go to sleep at night Seem like to me I can hear my conscience say "Johnnie you oughta be ashamed of yourself you know you got a good woman and you oughta treat her right." I made a deal with my conscience That if my conscience didn't bother me I sure wouldn't bother my conscience But every now and then it comes around to me and tells me "Johnnie 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 taking you through all of these changes. I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry that I did you wrong. I'm sorry I broke your heart baby
And it seem like to me I'm running out of lies It's getting hard to think of an alibi (Fade out)
