Valerie
Ronson Mark feat. Amy Winehouse Lyrics
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
Valerie
Valerie

Why don't come over Valerie?
The song "Valerie" by Ronson Mark Featuring Amy Winehouse is an upbeat and catchy tune that tells the story of a man who is pining for a woman named Valerie. The song begins with the singer admitting that he often goes out by himself and looks across the water, thinking about what Valerie is doing. He then goes on to describe how he misses her and her unique features, such as her ginger hair and her fashion sense. The singer then begs Valerie to stop making a fool out of him and to come over to his place instead.
The second half of the song is more confrontational, as the singer asks Valerie some pointed questions about her recent activities. He wonders if she had to go to jail or put her house up for sale, and if she was able to find a good lawyer. He also asks if she has changed her hair color or if she is busy shopping, and if she had to pay a fine that she had been avoiding.
In general, the lyrics of "Valerie" suggest a complicated relationship between the singer and Valerie. While the singer clearly misses her and wants her to come over, there are hints that Valerie might be avoiding him, or that he might be jealous of her recent activities. Despite these potential issues, the song remains upbeat and infectious, with a driving rhythm and catchy chorus.

Well sometimes I go out by myself
At times, I depart alone
And I look across the water
I gaze into the distance
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
I ponder about your current activities
And in my head I paint a picture
I picture an image in my mind
'Cause since I've come on home
Because ever since I returned
Well my body's been a mess
My physical state has been disorderly
And I've missed your ginger hair
I long for your orange hair

And the style of clothing you prefer
Won't you come on over

Stop making a fool out of me

Could’ve had a proper collab with Adele.
@VioletPaisley

@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...
