Mark Ronson - Valerie feat Amy Winehouse Lyrics

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 make a picture

'Cos since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I miss 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 find the right man
Who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere?
Changed the color of your hair?
Are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
You were dodging all the time?
Are you still dizzy?

'Cos since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I miss 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 border
And I think of all the things what you're doing
And in my head I make a picture

'Cos since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I miss 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?
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Why don't you come on over Valerie?


"Valerie" is the third single to be released from Mark Ronson's 2007 album Version. The track features vocals by critically-acclaimed English soul singer Amy Winehouse. This version of the track was originally done when Winehouse appeared on Jo Whiley's Live Lounge show on BBC Radio 1. The single was released on 22 October 2007, the video shows a group of jazz musicians inviting a woman from the audience onto their stage to "sing" the song, followed by (presumably) the woman's friends, in the style of group karaoke - although the women "sing" with Winehouse's voice. This single has become the highest charting single of Amy Winehouses career so far, with previous efforts Rehab and Tears Dry On Their Own peaking at 7 and 16 respectively.
