We live in two different worlds. She has her friends and I have mine.
She’s got diamonds and pearls. Me? I don’t have a spine.
If I did, I’d tell her, “I don’t need your money,” She’d just laugh, she’d know it’s a lie.
I don’t need a woman in my life, I need an alibi.

She said she appreciates my songs, she thinks each one’s a masterpiece
Deep inside, I know that she’s wrong, still I want so much to believe.
So, I smile and I take her money, and the days keep rolling by.
I don’t need a woman in my life, I need an alibi.

And the bills come in each month and mysteriously get paid.
All she asks is I not lie, and she gets laid.
Some would say that she’s confused, doesn’t know she’s being used.
Sure, somebody’s getting screwed, who's using who?

So I keep writing songs, she keeps taking control.
Sure, I know it’s all wrong. Do I care she’s got my soul?
If I did, I’d tell her, “I’ll be leaving,” here I am and you know why.
I don’t need a woman in my life, I need an alibi.

And the bills come in each month and mysteriously get paid.
All she asks is I not lie, and she gets laid.
Some would say that she’s confused, doesn’t know she’s being used.
Sure, somebody’s getting screwed, who's using who?
