Waiting for an Alibi (BBC Radio One Live in Concert)

[Intro]

This is a song called "Waitin' for an Alibi"

[Verse 1]

Valentino got a bookie shop

And what he takes, he says he gives for what he's got

And what he's got, he says he has not

Stole off anyone

[Pre-Chorus]

It's not that he don't tell the truth

Or even that he misspends his youth

Or that he holds the proof

You know there's something 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 the last bet

Against all the odds, he smokes another cigarette

Says that it helps him to forget he's a nervous wrеck

[Pre-Chorus]

It's not that he misses much

Or evеn that he lost a lucky touch

Or that he gambles way too much

You know that it's wrong

[Chorus]

Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi)

Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi)

Oh yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Waitin' for an alibi

Waitin' for an alibi (Waitin' for an alibi)

Waitin' for an alibi

Oh yeah

Waitin' for an alibi

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my

My, my, my, my, my, my, my

[Guitar Solo]
