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 and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Did you have to go to jail,
Put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
I 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?
'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, 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, Valerie?
Oh Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
The lyrics of "Valerie" by Glee Cast featuring Naya Rivera detail the internal musings of an individual who is separated from someone they deeply care about. The song encapsulates the feeling of physical and emotional distance that the singer experiences and their yearning for reconciliation. The opening lines of the song set the tone for rest of the lyrics; the person goes out by themselves and looks across the water as they contemplate what their beloved might be doing. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia as the individual ponders the things they have missed in the time that they have been separated. The song continues as the individual reaches out to their lover and asks them to come back and stop making a fool out of them. The singer is curious about the changes that have occurred in their lover's life while they have been apart and hopes that they have found the right man who will "fix it" for them.
The lyrics beautifully capture the sentiments of longing, nostalgia, and hope as the singer strives to reconnect with someone who used to be a part of their life. The song "Valerie" is a soulful ballad that is inspired by the original song recorded by English indie-rock band, The Zutons. The Glee Cast version featuring Naya Rivera was a huge hit and has been covered by several other artists as well.

I occasionally go out alone
