It Was Not I

[Verse]
In a tux at the gala everyone's eyes on me
Spotted in the moonlight with someone who should not be
The spotlight narrows wife’s eyes catch my lie
But I stand tall boldly claiming it was not I
[Verse 2]
Pictures on her phone with dates and times never lies
But I grab my tenor voice soaring up to the skies
I deny with flourish a flourish so very spry
Sweating at the collar shouting it was not I
[Chorus]
It was not I that kissed those lips of rouge
Nor my arms that held her close and huge
No not I who danced till dawn's light
Just a shadow playing tricks in the night
[Bridge]
Her proof's like a hammer pounding at my heart
Yet I waltz through her evidence with operatic art
Claiming a double a copy a phantom in the sky
Holding my ground I sing boldly it was not I
[Verse 3]
She plays a video crystal clear in view
Showing me clearer than the sky so blue
But it's the climax in the drama I must vie
With vocal finesse I still argue it was not I
[Chorus]
It was not I who whispered sweet deceit
Nor these hands entangled such a feat
No not I who sauntered till morning’s high
Just illusions and shadows that lie
