Say what you want
I'd be the first to admit I got it wrong
You're throwing the book
But I would second any motion
In devotion I urge you to acquit
I've told no lies
No need to check on my alibis
I've been cleaning the slate
No need to get all my stories straight
It makes no sense to submit a plea
When I can smile so innocently
The jury's out but they'll come to see
I can smile so innocently
Obscure the truth
And leave a permanent mess
A blanket of doubt
If you're playing the sleuth
You'll see that people here were hanging on your words
And now they hang on a noose
I've told no lies
No need to check on my alibis
I've been cleaning the slate
No need to get all my stories straight
It makes no sense to submit a plea
When I can smile so innocently
The jury's out but they'll all agree
I can smile so innocently
It makes no sense to submit a plea
When I can smile so innocently
The jury's out but they'll come to see
I can smile so innocently
