She sits one more night alone A victim to each call on the telephone He's the criminal and the crime She's given bail just one last time When he enters she can smell Another scent mixed with tobacco Crushed magnolia, sweaty skin A lipstick mark under his chin Oh, don't you see baby He's only gonna make you cry When a man has a smile like that It's his alibi Songtexte He creeps in across the room Noisily removes his shoes Slides besides her, smells her hair Like he's not been anywhere Whispers softly in her ear Sweet excuses, like they're a lullaby Tells her that he loves her so And holds her like he won't let go Oh, can't you see baby He's only gonna make you cry When a man has a smile like that It's his ali- Bye bye, goodbye to all the plans you made Of showing him the door Of making him lie in the bed he made He pulls you under, catches your tears with a kiss Then flashes a smile to remind you Just why you fell for a man like this... Memory selects the truth, puzzle pieces are removed He's her reason, he's her rhyme A reason to try one last time Everybody makes mistakes - a secret sin, a tiny lie He tells her that he loves her so Winds her up and ties a bow Oh, can't you see baby He's only gonna make you cry When a man has a smile like that Oh don't you see baby He's only gonna make you cry When a man has a smile like that, A girl never smells a rat, When a man has a smile like that It's his alibi Aus Songtexte Mania
