It Wasn't Me

(nick lowe/gypie mayo)



I stand accused of late night crime

She picked me out of an i.d. line

It wasn't me

No sir, it wasn't me

No matter what you say

I was miles away

It wasn't me



Things look bad

In our fast lane

The judge looks mad

But this is a frame

It wasn't me

No sir, it wasn't me

This is a real nightmare

Cause i was elsewhere

It wasn't me



Now i've been in trouble one time before

But why in hell they wanna nail me now

It wasn't me

No sir, it wasn't me

This time it ain't no use

I ain't got no proof

It wasn't me

This time it ain't no use

I ain't got no proof

It wasn't me



- guitar break -



She turn on the tears

She starts to cry

The jury

's out i'll say bye bye it wasn't me

No sir, it wasn't me

They think i'm tellin' lies i was a passerby

It wasn't me



Now i like to drink like anyone else

But i'm nearly sure it wasn't myself

It wasn't me

No sir, it wasn't me

It was a cold black night

And she wasn't my type

It wasn't me

It was a cold black night

And she wasn't my type

It wasn't me
