RONSON Mark 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" is about a man who is missing a woman named Valerie. He begins the song by apologizing to Charlie Murphy for having too much fun. Then he proceeds to talk about how he goes out by himself sometimes and looks across the water while thinking about what Valerie could be doing. He mentions how he paints a picture in his head. The chorus of the song is the repeated phrase "Won't you come on over?" which shows that he wants Valerie to come back to him.
In the second verse, the man asks Valerie if she had to go to jail, put her house up for sale or if she got a good lawyer. He also asks if she's found the right man who fixed things for her. He wonders if she's changed the color of her hair or shopping anywhere. He also inquires whether she had to pay the fine that she was dodging all the time. This shows that while he hasn't been with her, he's thought about her life and what she could be going through.
Overall, "Valerie" is a song that speaks to the idea of longing for someone who is no longer a part of your life. The lyrics show that even though the man has missed Valerie, he's still thinking about her and hoping that she'll come back to him.

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...
