I got my alibi sewed up nice and tight
Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin’
'Cause I know there's a wildcat in there sleepin'
But the, the light was on and the bed was made
And there's a dear John written on a pillow case
She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah, and he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
And baby, he's a looker too
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mess
I had the telephone ringin' and her cat on my chest
I'm wipin' the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes
Oh, it's gotta be her callin' to apologize
She must be feelin' bad 'cause she done me wrong
Then I, I pushed the button on a Code-A-Phone
She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah, she said, he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
And baby, he's a looker too
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Oh, and I got the stereo and she got the music
Yeah, and I got this washer but I don't know how to use it
She's gone to the Bahamas, had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin’ you down
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah, she said, he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
And baby, he's a looker too
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Oh yeah, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
Maybe you can come get this cat
I came staggerin' in, in the middle of the night I got my alibi sewed up nice and tight Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin’ 'Cause I know there's a wildcat in there sleepin' But the, the light was on and the bed was made And there's a dear John written on a pillow case She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to Yeah, and he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny And baby, he's a looker too She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mess I had the telephone ringin' and her cat on my chest I'm wipin' the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes Oh, it's gotta be her callin' to apologize She must be feelin' bad 'cause she done me wrong Then I, I pushed the button on a Code-A-Phone She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to Yeah, she said, he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny And baby, he's a looker too She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do Oh, and I got the stereo and she got the music Yeah, and I got this washer but I don't know how to use it She's gone to the Bahamas, had it with the drama Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin’ you down She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to Yeah, she said, he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny And baby, he's a looker too She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do Oh yeah, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do Maybe you can come get this cat Explain Request ×
