Waiting For An Alibi
(Philip Lynott)

taken from the BLACK ROSE album

.... see also WILD ONE and BLACK ROSE SESSIONS versions
for alternate lyrics.

Valentino 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
Stole from anyone

It's not that he don't tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
It's just he holds the proof
But you know 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
'gainst the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says it helped him to forget
he's a nervous wreck

It's not that he misses much
Or even that he lost his lucky touch
It's just 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 to you
Waiting for an alibi
(Waiting for an alibi)
To say I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Oh my my my my my my my
