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 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, 
 what 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
