It's been such a long, long time
Since you went out on your own
Just a lonely girl out in this world
Trying to make it all alone

You're wondering how you feel so down
You can find no peace of mind
If it's heart and soul
That's what you need
Well baby, you got mine

We better run away from this place
And leave it all behind
Driving right out of the night

Valerie, I'll be with you
In the place where lovers meet
Valerie, I don't want to lose
The race down Romance Street
I will be with you, I will run to you

Down the boardwalk I see you walkin'
Looking for a shelter from the rain
I call your name, you look at me
And here we are, together again
