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

®
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

[SOLO 3]

®
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..
