Valerie
Yearning Echoes: Valerie's Melody of Longing and Redemption
Lyrics
Well sometimes I go out by myself
Expresses occasional solo outings
And I look across the water
Observing the water, possibly contemplating
And I think of all the things, now what you're doing
Reflecting on the actions of the addressed person
In my head I paint a picture, mm, mmm
Mentally creating an image or scenario
Since I've come on home
Transition to returning home
Well my body's been a mess
Physical and emotional disarray
And I miss your ginger hair
Longing for specific features, like ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Missing the person's preferred style
Won't you come on over
Inviting the person to visit
Stop making a fool out of me
Feeling deceived or embarrassed
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Direct invitation, repeating the name Valerie
Oh, Valerie, yeah
Reiterating the invitation with enthusiasm
Come on over, Valerie
Encouraging Valerie to come over
Oh, Valerie, mm-mm-mm
Repeating Valerie's name for emphasis
Well, I hope you didn't catch a tan,
Expressing hope for the person's well-being
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
Wishing for someone suitable to fix things
Did you have to pay the fine
Asking about potential consequences or fines
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
Wondering if Valerie is still evading issues
Since I've come on home,
Returning home again, repeating emotions
Well my body's been a mess
Reiterating physical and emotional struggles
And I miss your ginger hair
Yearning for specific physical attributes
And the way you like to dress
Missing the person's fashion preferences
So won't you come on over
Inviting Valerie to come over once more
Stop making a fool out of me
Expressing frustration or embarrassment
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Repeating the invitation with urgency
Oh, Valerie, yeah
Enthusiastically calling out Valerie's name
Come on over, Valerie
Reiterating the invitation to visit
Oh, Valerie
Repeating Valerie's name with emotion
Why don't you come on over?
Insisting on Valerie coming over
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, ooh
Repeating Valerie's name for emphasis
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, ooh
-Valerie, Valerie, la da da da da da da da
-Valerie, Valerie, la da da da da da da da
-Ooh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain
Expressing reluctance or impatience
Ooh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain
-Ooh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain
-Ooh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
-So why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Final plea for Valerie to come over
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
