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 sweatplaced 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
