Marshall Crenshaw - Valerie текст песни

(richard thompson)

Valerie you put me on the rack

Valerie youll give me a heart attack

You say that Im history

You say Im no good

Then you want to be like two babes in the wood

Thats what I wouldnt call playing to the gallery

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie

Valerie why dont you put that down

Valerie youre gonna choke and drown

If you dont give up off this junk food jag

Theyre gonna take you home in a body bag

I cant stand to see one more calorie

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie

Well Im soft in the head and I give her hard cash

She spends all my money on junk and trash

Nylon fur and plastic shoes

And fifty-seven things shes never gonna use

Never, never gonna use...valerie

Shes got a figure like this, lips like that

Red fingernails, teeth like a cat

I know shes going to be the ruin of me

Shes got me running on nervous energy

Runnin on nervous energy

Valerie she wants to move out of town

Valerie she wants the money down

Valerie she wants leopard skin this and tiger skin that

Matching luggage and a matching hat

I cant afford her on my salary

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie

I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie
