Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
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 for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
And 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?
'Cause since I've come on home
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?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
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 paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
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?
Valerie
Valerie

Why don't come over Valerie?
The song "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse ft. Mark Ronson is a story of a person who is still in love with their ex-lover, Valerie. The singer often finds themselves alone by the water, looking across and imagining what Valerie is up to, as they paint a picture in their head. Since they've come back home, their body has been a mess, missing Valerie's unique features, like her ginger hair and how she likes to dress. The singer asks Valerie to stop making a fool out of them and to come on over.
The song contains a narrative that could speak to anyone who has ever been in love with an ex. It is trying to pull the strings of the heart of the listener, evoking emotions of longing, nostalgia, and regret.

@stitchedmouthgirl
I’m from Camden (where Amy is from) and trust me, nobody here has forgotten about Amy. I’m so happy that the rest of the world hasn’t either.
@TheTaz1999
When you look at the number of faces to have come out from Camden over the years is very significant...
