H ey Valerie Baby what's the matter with y ou?
I did all of the things that you wanted me t o wa lk up
I went downtown with my p ocket k nife
C ut your other man but I s pared his l ife
V alerie won't y ou be good to m e?
Hey Valerie Baby what's the matter with you?
Come on come Baby and tell me true
Hey now Baby what did I do?
I shot my dog 'cause he growled at you
Valerie won't you be good to me?
V alerie what's the matter with m e?
I n ever ever done you no w rong
I sing the blues nearly a ll night l ong.
V alerie what the matter with m e?
You know I'd d o anything that you'd s ay
I can't understand why you t ell me "Please go 'w ay"
I ain't afraid of the cold cruel world outside
No chicken little running from a falling sky
The only thing trouble's me is you.
If you leave me what will I do?
Valerie won't you be good to me?
You got me down on the knees of my shaking feet
Can't play the blues 'cause for you I drop the beat
Valerie what your complaint?
I try to be everything I ain't
Valerie won't you be good to me?
