Valerie's lancing, in the room above my bed you know for all of the world below to see Valerie's leaving, in a car outside my house you know its such a shame she's not with me and all the pretty things and all the love my heart would bring I would give my whole life to her Valerie loves me Valerie's riding, in a car around my neighboorhood she's thinking of all the men she'll meet I could only hope for a stolen moment of her thoughts between the walk to the club and all the drinks she'll have in a crowded room where everybody leaves too soon I only hope that she remembers me Valerie loves me Valerie loves me Valerie's lonely, in an apartment down the street you know and her hair has turned so grey but she's so happy, for the memories she has you know she can believe in the day when love was on a string and she could have that anything she ever wanted but she cant have me Valerie loves me
