Well sometimes I go out by myself… Wuel simtaims a’ go aut ba’ ma’self
And I look across the water… Anay luk across de wuora
And I think of all the things, what you’re doing… N’ A’ tdink of ol de tdengs, wuat yio’ duin’
And in my head I paint a picture… N’ in ma’ jed a’ pein’ a picsho‘

Since I’ve come on home,… Sins of com on jom
Well my body’s been a mess… Wuel ma’ bodys biin a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair… Anof miss’ yio’ yinyie’ jee’
And the way you like to dress… En’ de wuey yiu laik ‘u dress
Won’t you come on over… Wuon’ yiu com ouva
Stop making a fool out of me… Estop meikin’ a fuul aurof mi
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?… Wuay don yiu com on ouva, Valerry?

Valerie [x3]… Valerry (3)
Did you have to go to jail,… Did yiu ‘af ‘u go tu yeil
Put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?… Put yio’ jaus on ap fo‘ seil, did yiu guet a guud looyier?
I hope you didn’t catch a tan,… A’ joup yiu diden’ catch a ten
I hope you find the right man who’ll fix it for ya… A’ joup yiu fain’ de rai’ man jul ficset for yia
Are you shopping anywhere,… Ar’ yiu shoppin’ enywue’
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?… Cheinch’ de calo’ of yio’ jeer, ar’yiu bisy?
And did you have to pay that fine… N’ did yiu ‘af ru pey dat fain
That you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?… Dat yiu wuer dodyin’ ol de taim, ar’ yiu estil dizzy?

Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed 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?
