Waiting For An Alibi Lyrics

Waiting For An Alibi lyrics

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
