Mark Ronson Amy Winehouse Tribute Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
'Cos 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 won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie?
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 colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?
Yeah
'Cos 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 won'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'
Cos 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 won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.




Valerie, Valerie?
Yeah Valerie

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...
