I tell you I didn't do it 'cause I wasn't there

Don't blame me, it just isn't fair

You listen to their side, now listen to mine

Can't think of a story, sure, you'll find me sometime

It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate

He told me to stand here and watch the gate

I've got a wife and three kids you know

They'll tell you I'm straight, at least I think so

I'm as honest as the day is long

The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong

Then I'll be gone and I'll forget

That what you give is what you get
