Waiting For An Alibi

Thin Lizzy

1. 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

R: Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi 
   Waiting for an alibi, Waiting for an alibi

2. 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

R: 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

R: 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
   Oh mamamama..
