Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water 
And I think of all the things that you're doing 
And in my head I make 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 color of your hair, 
Are you busy? 
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time, 
Are you still dizzy? 
Yeah 

'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? 

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water 
And I think of all the things that you're doing 
And in my head I make 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?
