Valerie

G           D      C            
That's what I call playing to 
       Em
the gallery
    Em   D    C               G
I'm wait wait waiting for Valerie

Valerie--She's got a scar down here
Valerie--She's got gold in her ear
A figure like this, lips like that
Red fingernails, teeth like a cat
She never gets home till five or 
four or three
I'm wait wait waiting for Valerie

    Em
I'm soft in the head, I give her 
hard cash
Continues after the ad
    G
She spends all my money on junk and 
trash
Em
Nylon fur, plastic shoes
A
And fifty-seven things she's never 
going to use
A
Never, never, never going to use

Valerie--you're going to choke or 
drown
Valerie--Why don't you put that down
If you don't get over this eating 
jag
They're going to take you home in a 
body bag
I can't stand to see one more 
calorie
I'm wait wait waiting for Valerie

Every time I turn my back
She's round the corner looking for a
 crack
It's going to be the ruin of me
I'm running on nervous energy

Valerie--she want to move out of 
town
Valerie--she want the money down
She want leopard-skin this, 
tigerskin that
Matching luggage, lipstick, hat
I can't afford her on my salary
I'm wait, wait, waiting for Valerie
