Valerie Lyrics
Alright, it's rolling
I'm sorry, Charlie Murphy, I was having too much fun
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
'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
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?
Hope you didn't catch a tan
Hope you found the right man
Who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere?
Changed the colour of your hair?
Are you busy?
Or did you have to pay that fine
That you was dodging all the time?
Are you still busy?
'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
Won't you come on over?
Stop making 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 doing
And in my head, I paint a picture
'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
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Mm, Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Meaning of Valerie
Alright, it’s rolling – this is a desperate plea wrapped in a retro soul groove. The narrator is consumed by longing for Valerie, who's clearly been through some trouble, possibly involving jail and financial difficulties. He meticulously interrogates her, not with anger, but with a heartbreaking curiosity and a desire to understand what she’s been up to since he returned home. His repeated “Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?” reveals a profound loneliness and the agonizing uncertainty of waiting for someone who seems distant and perhaps even unreachable. Mark Ronson masterfully uses this classic song structure to build an atmosphere of melancholic yearning, highlighting themes of lost love, regret, and the persistent hope that a simple invitation can bridge the gap between two hearts. It’s a beautiful, bittersweet exploration of missed connections and the enduring power of a remembered face – Valerie.
