Richard Thompson - Valerie Lyrics
Oh Valerie! You give me heart attackOh Valerie! You put me on the rackOh you say that I'm history, you say I'm no goodThen you want to be two babes in the woodThat's what I call playing to the galleryWell I'm a-wait, wait, waiting for ValerieHey Valerie! She got a scar down hereValerie! She got gold in her earA figure like this, lips like thatRed fingernails, teeth like a catShe never gets home till five or four or threeWell I'm a-wait, wait, waiting for ValerieWell I'm soft in the head, I give her hard cashShe spends all my money on junk and trashNylon fur, plastic shoesAnd fifty-seven things she's never going to useNever, never, never going to useOh Valerie! Oh Valerie! Oh Valerie!Well Valerie! You're going to choke or drownValerie! Why don't you put that down?If you don't get over this eating jagThey're going to take you home in a body bagI can't stand to see one more calorieWell I'm a-wait, wait, waiting for ValerieNow every time I turn my backShe's 'round the corner, looking for a crackIt's going to be the ruin of meWell I'm running on nervous energyRunning on nervous energyOh Valerie! She want to move out of townValerie! She want the money downShe want leopard-skin this, tiger-skin thatMatching luggage, lipstick, hatI can't afford her on my salaryStill I'm a-wait, wait, waiting for ValerieI'm a-wait, wait, waiting for ValerieHmm I'm a-wait, wait, waiting for ValerieValerie! Oh Valerie! Well! Whooo
