Well, sometimes
I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think, of all the things, what you're doing?

And in my head I paint a picture
Since I've come home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Oh, why don't you come on over, Valerie?

Valerie, yeah
Valerie
Valerie

Did you have to go to jail?
Put your house out 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

And are you shopping anywhere? (Ah, ah)
Change the color of your hair? (Ah, ah)
And are you busy? (Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
And did you have to pay that fine (ah, ah)
That you were dodging all the time? (Ah, ah)
Are you still dizzy? (Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)

But since I've come home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Oh, why don't you come on over, Valerie?

Valerie

Well, sometimes

Well, my body's been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Oh, why don't you come on over, Valerie?

Valerie, yeah
Valerie
Valerie
Oh-oh, Valerie
Oh-oh, Valerie
Oh, Valerie, yeah
Valerie, yeah
Valerie
Oh, why don't you come on over, Valerie?
