Sambô Lyrics

Sambô's song "Valerie" appears to be about a man who is thinking about a woman named Valerie. He introspectively sings about thinking of all the things Valerie could be doing while he is looking out over the water by himself. Then, he talks about coming home and having his body and mind be in a state of disarray from missing Valerie's presence. He misses her "ginger hair" and "the way you like to dress" and asks her to come over and stop making a fool of him. The repetition of her name throughout the song emphasizes the strong desire he feels to see her again.

The second verse suggests that Valerie may have been in trouble with the law and had to sell her house. The singer hopes that she did not get a tan (perhaps from being in jail) and that she finds the right man who can fix things for her. It is possible that the singer is trying to convince Valerie that they should be together because he misses her so much, and he knows that she needs help.

Overall, the song appears to be a plea for Valerie to come back to the singer because he needs her and realizes that he may have messed things up between them. The repetition of her name throughout the song suggests that she is always on his mind.
