[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 misspends his youth
It's just he holds the proof
And you know something's wrong
[Chorus]
I said, 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 too much
And you know that it's wrong
[Chorus]
I said, waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi)
Just to catch your eye
Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi)
To say I told ya, I told ya
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Waitin' for an alibi
Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi)
Waitin' for an alibi
Waitin' for an alibi
Oh my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you
