richard thompson - valerie (2014) lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, valerie—you give me heart attack
oh, valerie—you put me on the rack
you say that i’m history, you say i’m no good
then you wanna be two babes in the wood
that’s what i call playing to the gallery
well, i’m a+wait, wait, waiting for valerie

[verse 2]
oh, valerie—she got a scar down here
valerie—she got gold in her ear
a figure like this, lips like that
red fingernails, t++th like a cat
she never gets home till five or four or three
well, i’m a+wait, wait, waiting for valeriе

[bridge]
well, i’m soft in the head, i givе her hard cash
she spends all my money on junk and trash
nylon fur, plastic shoes
fifty+seven things she’s never gonna use
never, never, never gonna use
oh, valerie
oh, valerie
oh, valerie
[verse 3]
oh, valerie—you’re gonna choke or drown
valerie—why don’t you put that down?
if you don’t get over this eating jag
they’re gonna take you home in a body bag
i can’t stand to see one more calorie
well, i’m a+wait, wait, waiting for valerie

[bridge]
now every time i turn my back
she’s around the corner, looking for a crack
it’s gonna be the ruin of me
i’m running on nervous energy
running on nervous energy

[verse 4]
oh, valerie—she want to move out of town
valerie—she want the money down
she want leopard+skin this, tiger+skin that
matching luggage, lipstick, hat—
i can’t afford her on my salary
well, i’m a+wait, wait, waiting for valerie
well, i’m a+wait, wait, waiting for valerie
ooh

[guitar solo]
[outro]
yeah
yeah
