Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you got an alibi?
I think you know your friends got you playing pretend
You got me going out my mind
I think I'll be the one tonight, in your bed
I have ya singing
Oooh
And all the things we'd
Do

Yeah I'll give you an alibi
I could be the reason you stop playing pretend
Take a minute baby we could maybe stay
At the cottage by the gray
We could hideaway
I admit it baby we could maybe play
At the cottage by the gray
We can hideaway, it's something 'bout
You
The things that you
Do
I'll need you to testify
Just say the things that's on your mind, in your head
I wrote you something that you'd like
I hope we don't run out of time, in this bed
I had us singing
Oooh
And all the things we
Do
Take a minute baby we could maybe stay
At the cottage by the gray
We could hideaway
I admit it baby we could maybe play
At the cottage by the gray
We can hideaway, it's something 'bout
You
The things that you
Do
You
The things that you
Do
We can hideaway
We can hideaway
We can hideaway
We can hideaway
Take a minute baby we could maybe stay
At the cottage by the gray
I admit it baby we could maybe play
At the cottage by the gray
Take a minute baby we could maybe stay
At the cottage by the gray
We could hideaway
I admit it baby we could maybe play
At the cottage by the gray
We can hideaway, it's something 'bout
You
The things that you

Do
We can hideaway
