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]
