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

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

Did you have to go to jail
Or put your house on up for sale
Well, did you get a good lawyer
Hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you'll find the right man
Who will fix it for you

Oh, since I've come on 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, Valerie, Valerie

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

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