In this addition to the Thursday narrative, Abel sings about a girl, likely the “Lonely Star,” that he truly loves yet is cheating on.

[Verse 1]
There comes a time in a man's life
Where he must take responsibility
For the choices he has made
And there are certain things that he must do
Things that he must say
[Chorus]
Like I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
[Verse 2]
I never thought I'd feel this kind of hesitation (To put)
My hand on another girl
I wish I didn't have to lie
I wish I could let you know
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
[Bridge]

(I know you can see through my lies)
Valerie (Oh, Valerie)

Valerie (I know, Valerie)
You'd rather this than be alone
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
[Outro]
And I love you
('Cause I love you baby)
And I need you
(When I need, need)
I only want you
And nobody gonna know...
Valerie was written by Doc McKinney & Illangelo & The Weeknd.
Valerie was produced by Illangelo & Doc McKinney.
The Weeknd released Valerie on Tue Nov 13 2012.
Since it was placed in the tracklist right behind the last Thursday track, “Heaven or Las Vegas”, it can be considered as a Thursday bonus song.
