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 
    Since I've come on home 
 Well, my body's been a mess 
 And I miss 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   
 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 you   
 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?   
 Since I've come on home 
 Well, my body's been a mess 
 And I miss 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   
 Well, sometimes I go out by myself

 And I miss your ginger hair 
 And the way you like to dress

 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?
