Well, sometimes

I go out by myself

and I look across

the water

And I think of

all the things

what you're doin'

and in my head

I paint a picture

'Cause 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 makin' a fool out of me

why don't you come on

over Valerie, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie

Did you have to go to jail

put your house

on up for sale

did you get a good lawyer

Hope you didn't catch a tan

I hope you'll find

the right man

who'll fix it for you

Are you shoppin' anywhere

change the colour

of your hair

are you busy

And did you have

to pay the fine

you were dodgin' all the time

are you still dizzy

'Cause 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 makin' a fool out of me

why don't you come on

over Valerie, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie

Well, sometimes

I go out by myself

and I look

across the water

'Cause 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 makin' a fool out of me

why don't you come on

over Valerie, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie...

Valerie...

Valerie, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie

Oh, Valerie, Valerie

da-da-da-da-da-da

Valerie...
