Mark Ronson Featuring Amy Winhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sorry, Charlie Murphy, I was having too much fun
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
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
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 found the right man who fixed it for you
Are you shopping anywhere?
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
That you was dodging all the time
Are you still busy?
'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
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
The lyrics to Mark Ronson's song "Valerie" ft Amy Winehouse depict a person's longing for someone they've been separated from, likely due to some form of trouble. The song begins with the singer stating that they sometimes go out by themselves and look across the water while thinking of what the other person might be doing. They paint an imaginary picture of their lover in their head, suggesting that they haven't heard from them in some time.
The chorus builds on this sense of longing and missing their partner. The singer has come home to a messy body, suggesting that the separation has taken a toll on them physically. They miss the other person's ginger hair and the way they dress. The singer pleads with their partner to stop making a fool out of them and come over, asking "Why don't you come on over?"
The second verse continues this theme of separation, with the singer asking their partner about their time spent away. They ask if they had to go to jail or sell their house, and if they found a good lawyer. They hope the other person didn't get a tan (perhaps from being in jail?) and that they've found someone to fix any trouble they've gotten into. The singer asks if they're shopping anywhere and if they've changed their hair color, wondering if they're still busy and if they had to pay any fines.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of loneliness and longing for someone who's been separated from. The singer misses the other person's physical attributes and personality, and is hopeful that they'll be reunited soon.

Well sometimes I go out by myself
I occasionally go out on my own
And I look across the water
I gaze across the river
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
I ponder on all the activities you're performing
And in my head I paint a picture
I visualize a picture in my mind
'Cause since I've come on home
Because ever since I returned back home
Well my body's been a mess
My body has been in bad shape
And I've missed your ginger hair
I've longed for your lovely ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
And the fashion style you prefer
Won't you come on over
Can't you pay a visit to me?
Stop making a fool out of me
Stop humiliating me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Why don't you visit me, Valerie?
Did you have to go to jail
Did you serve time in prison?
Put your house up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
Did you have to sell your house? Did you hire a good attorney?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you didn't get a sunburn
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
I hope you'll come across the perfect man who will resolve your troubles
And are you shopping anywhere
And are you shopping at any stores?
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
Did you alter your hair shade? Do you have a lot on your plate?
And did you have to pay that fine
Did you pay that fee that you were trying to avoid?
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
You were evading it continuously, are you still disoriented?
Why don't come over Valerie?
Why don't you visit me, Valerie?

@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...
