Lyrics of Valerie by Amy Winehouse after the jump.

Well sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why’d you do it
and in my head I paint a picture

Since I come home,
well my body’s been a mess
and I miss your gentle 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 up out for sale
did you get a good lawyer
I hope you didn’t catch a tan
hope you find the right man to fix it for you

Are you shopping anywhere
changed the colour of your hair
and are you busy
did you have to pay that fine
to a ***** all the time
are you still dizzy

Since I come home,
well my body’s been a mess
and I miss your gentle 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

But sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why’d you do it
and in my head I paint a picture

Since I come home,
well my body’s been a mess
and I miss your gentle 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

Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie

Why don’t you come on over Valerie..
