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

'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 (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? (did you get a good lawyer?)
I hope you didn't catch a tan
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? (are you busy?)
And did you have to pay that fine?
That you were dodging all the time
Are you still busy? (are you still busy?)

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 (out of me)
I said: why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie (why don't you come on over?)
Valerie
Valerie (why don't you come on over?)

Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water, oh, yeah
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
In my head I paint a picture (I paint a picture)
I paint a picture (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
I said: why don't you come on over Valerie?

Valerie (why don't you come on over?)
Valerie (why don't you come on over?)
Valerie (why don't you come on over?)
Valerie (why don't you come on over?)
Valerie (why don't you come on over?)
Valerie (Valerie)
Valerie
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
