[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Why don't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?

[Chorus]
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie

[trombone solo]
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Why don't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
I missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Why don't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?

[Chorus]
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
[Outro]
Come on, come on now
Valerie
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you
Come on over?
Come on, come on, come on
Valerie
Whoa why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
