Well, sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you doing?
And in my head I paint a picture
Since I've come home, well, my body's been a mess
And in my head I paint a picture

And I mess your gentle hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
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 find the right man who fix it for ya
Are you shopping anywhere?
I hope you find the right man
Who fix it for ya

Change the color of your hair? Are you busy?
Did you have to pay that fine
That you was dodging all the time?
Are you still busy?

Since I've come home, well, my body's been a mess
And I miss your gentle hair, and the way you like to dress
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me

Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
And I miss your gentle hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me

Well, sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you doing?
And in my head I paint a picture
Since I've come home, well, my body's been a mess

And I mess your gentle hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
And in my head I paint a picture

Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Valerie, oh, Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Oh, won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me

Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Valerie
Oh, Valerie

Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
