Valerie

Why didn't you come home to me?
Why?
Why didn't you come home to me?
To me, to me, to me
Why didn't you come home to me?
Why?
Why didn't you come home to me?
To me, to me, to me, to me

She walked into the room
Like people tend to do when they show up
She was only twenty-two
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

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) she tried hard to get that feeling
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) that comes easy to you and I
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) still, she thought it might be funny
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) to do one selfless deed before she died

And 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

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) but she didn't want them anyways
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) she's no damsel in distress
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) she just sipped her daiquiri
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) and wished she wasn't easily convinced

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) but who were you fooling anyways?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) you should have guessed, you should have known
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) it doesn't matter what they say
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) some people like to be alone

And 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

(Why?)
You can't come in 
You can't come in (why?)
No, you can't come in 
You can't come in (why?)
You can't come in 
You can't come in (why?)
No, you can't come in 
You can't come in
You can't come in 
You can't come in
