(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
