Valerie

(album: The Covers - 2023)

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 making 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?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
Are you shopping anywhere
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
Did you have to pay that fine
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?

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, baby
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie

Oh baby, I'll be
Sitting and waiting on you become home again
And I won't leave
I promise I'll be here 'til the very end
Oh, by your side
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Oh, come on home to me, Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
