Well sometimes I go out by myself
And then I look across the water
And I think of all the things, like what you're doing
(Like what you're doing)
And in my head I paint a picture
Since I've come on home
(Since I've come on home)
Well my body's been a mess
'Cause I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Why won't you come on over?
(Why won't you come on over?)
And stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie?
Vale-rie-ie-ie
Valerie
Vale-rie-ie-ie
Did you have to go to jail?
(Did you have to go to jail?)
Put your house up for sale?
And did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you'll find the right man who will fix it for ya
Are you shopping anywhere?
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine?
(Did you have to pay that fine?)
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
'Cause since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
'Cause I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Why won't you come on over
(Why won't you come on over)
And stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie?
Vale-rie-ie-ie
Valerie
Vale-rie-ie-ie
Vale-rie-ie-ie
