[Verse 1]
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things and what you're doin'
In my head I paint a picture

[Chorus]
'Cause since I've come on home
Yeah, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
So won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie

[Verse 2]
Did you have to go to jail?
Put your house on up for sale?
Did you get a good lawyer?
Hope you didn't catch a tan
Hopе you found the right man who'll fix it for you
Are you shoppin' evеrywhere?
Changed the color of you hair?
Are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine
That you're dodging all the time?
Are you still dizzy?

[Chorus]
'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
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

[Bridge]
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things and what you're doin'
In my head I paint a picture

[Chorus]
'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
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
Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
