Valerie - Greg Kihn Band

There comes a time in a man's life Where he must take responsibility For the choices he has made There are certain things that he must do Things that he must say Like, I love you And, I need you I only want you And nobody's going to know if it's true I never thought I'd feel this kind of hesitation (To put) My hand on another girl (Ooh) I wish I didn't have to lie I wish I could let you know 'Cause I love you And I need you I only want you And nobody's going to know if it's true Valerie (Oh, Valerie) I know you can see through me (I know you can see through my lies, oh oh) Valerie (Oh Valerie) You just choose to never know (No you just don't know, what I do, what I do) Valerie (Valerie) Why pretend to trust in me? (I don't know why you try to trust in me, baby but I think I might know) Valerie (Oh-oh, Valerie) You'd rather this than be alone (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 'Cause I love you And I need you I only want you And nobody's going to know if it's true 'Cause I love you And I need you I only want you And nobody's going to know if it's true And I love you ('Cause I love you baby) And I need you (When I need, need) I only want you And nobody gonna know (Oh-ooh)

She walked into the room Like people tend to do when they show up She was only 22 And sick of people telling her to grow up It just gets worse the more you wait And you could easily find a date if you only wanted to You're such a pretty girl From your lavender hair down to your combat boots She tried hard to get that feeling That comes easy to you and I Still, she thought it might be funny To do one selfless deed before she died Valerie She doesn't know how to be like every other girl She's alone in her little world And you can't come in Valerie Standing on the balcony And if you look you could see into her mind But you can't come in And if you never knew nobody Then how'd you ever know that you were lonely? She'd known someone who had And if that's the case then what's the point in knowing She stood there in the open For everyone to see Too proud to ask for anybody's help She had this revelation The sheer amount of work that it would take To be like everybody else But she didn't want them anyways She's no damsel in distress She just sipped her daiquiri And wished she wasn't easily convinced But who were you fooling anyways? You should have guessed You should have known It doesn't matter what they say Some people like to be alone Valerie She doesn't know how to be like every other girl She's alone in her little world And you can't come in Valerie Standing on the balcony And if you look you could see into her mind But you can't come in You can't come in You can't come in No, you can't come in You can't come in You can't come in You can't come in No, you can't come in You can't come in You can't come in You can't come in

Well, sometimes I go out by myself And I look across the water And I think of all the things, what you do And in my head, I make a picture 'Cause since I've come on home Well, my body's been a mess And I've missed your ginger hair And the way you like to dress Won't you come on over? And stop makin' a fool out of me Why don't you come on over Valerie? Valerie Did you have to go to jail? Put your house up on for sale Did you get a good lawyer? I hope you didn't catch a tan I hope you'll find the right man Who'll fix it for ya Are you shoppin' anywhere? Changed the color of you hair, are you busy? And did you have to pay the fine You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy? Yeah, 'cause since I've come on home Well, my body's been a mess And I've missed your ginger hair And the way you like to dress Won't you come on over? And stop makin' a fool out of me Why don't you come on over Valerie?

I can see you standing here alone Man in armour looking at the dawn. Shadows now cross your eyes Who is on your mind My young Lord? You are known as Lancelot Of The Lake Man with strenght that nobody can break You're the Kingdom's pride Fortune's on your side again. You are riding across the land fighting for your lady Holding so tight her silver sword. She is so beautiful dancing among the maidens But will she ever free your heart? Riding over mountains - loving in the night - Dancing near the mountains Holding a graceful lady. Hiding in a castle - living in a dream - Fighting for your love one Lancelot. Dream you hold the woman in your arms You have nothing still to shield your heart. I know beauty can win the bravest men forever. You shall try to forget the dame Fighting the mighty battles Until the night will make you dream. And your courage will bring you fame Inside the courts and castles. Minstrels will sing it to your queen. Riding over mountains - Loving in the night - . . . Riding over mountains - Loving in the night - . . And now when the music will end Will she turn and forget Will she cry? Will you still be fighting the wind now And dreaming your love in the night? Holding a graceful lady - Lancelot - Holding a graceful lady - Lancelot.
