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
