          D#
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
                       Fm
and I look across the water
       D#
And I think of all the things, what you're doin'
                          Fm
and in my head I paint a picture

Chorus:
     G#                                Gm
'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
         G#                               Gm
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
G#                       Gm                       A#
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
A#                           D#          Fm
Why don't you come on over, Valerie, Valerie
 D#          Fm
Valerie, Valerie

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 ten
I hope you'll find the right man who fix it for ya

And are you shoppin' anywhere? (Ah-ah)
Change the colour of your hair? (Ah-ah)
And are you busy? (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
And did you have to pay that fine (Ah-ah)
You were dodging all the time? (Ah-ah)
Are you still dizzy? (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

Chorus:
And since I've come home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed 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 look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doin'
And in my head, I paint a picture

Chorus:
And since I've come home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed 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

Oh, Valerie
Oh, Valerie
Oh, Valerie
Valerie, ayy
Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie
