Tom: G G D C Em That's what I call playing to 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 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
