[Refrain]

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

[Chorus]

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, yeah

Valerie

Valerie

[Verse 1]

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'll find the right man

Who'll fix it for ya

[Verse 2]

And are you shoppin' anywhere?

Changed the colour of your hair?

And are you busy?

And did you have to pay that fine

That you were dodgin' all the time?

Are you still dizzy?

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

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

[Chorus]

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, yeah

Valerie

Valerie, yeah

Oh, Valerie

Oh, Valerie

Oh, Valerie, yeah, Valerie, yeah

Valerie

Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
