Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things that you're doing
And in my head I make a picture

'Cos since I've come on home, well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over, Valerie, Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale,
Did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you,
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the color of your hair,
Are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time,
Are you still dizzy?
Yeah

'Cos since I've come on home, well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over, Valerie, Valerie
Valerie, Valerie?

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things that you're doing
And in my head I make a picture'

Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over, Valerie, Valerie
Valerie, Valerie?

Yeah Valerie
