Waiting for an Alibi

[Verse 1] Valentino's got a bookie shop And what he takes, he gives for what he's got And what he's got, he says he has not Stole from anyone [Pre-Chorus] It's not that he don't tell the truth Or even that he misspent his youth It's just he holds the proof But you know something's wrong [Chorus] Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi) Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi) [Verse 2] Valentino's in a cold sweat Placed all his money on that last bet Against all the odds, he smokes another cigarette Says that it helps him to forget he's a nervous wreck [Pre-Chorus] It's not that he misses much Or even that he lost his lucky touch It's just he gambles so much And you know that it's wrong [Chorus] Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi) Waitin' just to catch your eye Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi) Tried to say I told ya, I told ya [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Waitin' for an alibi Waitin' just to get ya Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi) Just to say I told ya Waitin' for an alibi Waitin' for an alibi Oh my, my, my, my, my, my My, my, my, my, my, my [Guitar Solo]
