Valerie - Quarterflash

I didn’t have a chance in art school

You offered to help this poor fool

And I was more than pleased

That you had taken me under your wing

And during those first encounters

I sensed a curious power

But I was ill equipped

To understand your subtle hints

Oh Valerie!

Oh!

I never thought it would go this far

Oh Valerie-hee!

I never thought it would go-o-o-o this far

I never suspected your intentions

When you showed unusual affection

But when you kissed my cheek

My world collapsed my knees went weak

That moment just made no sense

I lost my nerve and innocence

I turned and ran away

I’ll never understand that day

Oh Valerie!

Oh!

I never thought it would go this far

Oh Valerie-hee!

I never thought it would go-o-o-o this far

It’s so easy to see now

You dropped a thousand clues

But no matter which way I turn I’ve something to lose

Something to lose!

Oh Valerie!

Oh!

I never thought it would go this far

Oh Valerie-hee!

I never thought it would go-o-o-o this far

The last I saw of Valerie

She was followed in the school’s art gallery

By some aspiring soul

I hope she understands her role

Still stumped in my confusion

With one last innocent illusion

I’ve got just this to say

I wish there had been an easier way

Oh-ho!

Valerie

I never thought it would go this far

Oh Valerie-hee!

I never thought it would go- whoah-o-o-o!

Oh Valerie!

Oh!

I never thought it would go this far

Oh Valerie-hee!

I never thought it would go this far
