Lyric Waiting For An Alibi

Valentino s got a booky shop and what he takes
He gives for what he s got
And what he s got he says he has not
Stolen from anyone

It s not that he don t tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
It s just that he holds the proof
But you feel there s something s wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi

Valentino s in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet
Against the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says that it helps him to forget
That he s a nervous wreck

It s not that he misses much
Or even that he s lost his lucky touch
It s just that he gambles so much
And you know that it s wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting for an alibi

Waiting for an alibi
Try to say I told you I told you

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to get you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
To say I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
