Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly
To mourn a lethal fascination
with a girl named Valerie
She got a XXX rating
and maybe someday she'd have married me
But, she was born to keep me waiting

She wrote the book of Revelations
Her name was Valerie

With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my life around you
With a little more time
