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

'Cos since [bad word] 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 [bad word] on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't [bad word] 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 colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?

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'

Cos since [bad word] 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 [bad word] on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't [bad word] on over Valerie, Valerie.
Valerie, Valerie?
