Marshall Crenshaw - Valerie Lyrics
(richard thompson)Valerie you put me on the rackValerie youll give me a heart attackYou say that Im historyYou say Im no goodThen you want to be like two babes in the woodThats what I wouldnt call playing to the galleryI keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerieValerie why dont you put that downValerie youre gonna choke and drownIf you dont give up off this junk food jagTheyre gonna take you home in a body bagI cant stand to see one more calorieI keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerieWell Im soft in the head and I give her hard cashShe spends all my money on junk and trashNylon fur and plastic shoesAnd fifty-seven things shes never gonna useNever, never gonna use...valerieShes got a figure like this, lips like thatRed fingernails, teeth like a catI know shes going to be the ruin of meShes got me running on nervous energyRunnin on nervous energyValerie she wants to move out of townValerie she wants the money downValerie she wants leopard skin this and tiger skin thatMatching luggage and a matching hatI cant afford her on my salaryI keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerieI keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie
