Quarterflash, "Valerie"
(1981)

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
I never thought it would go this far

I never suspected your intentions
When you showed unusual affection
But when you kissed my cheek
My world collapsed, my knees went week

??? just made no sense
I lost my nerve and good sense
I turned and ran away
I'll never understand that day

Oh Valerie
Oh, I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie
I never thought it would go this far

It's so easy to see now
You dropped a thousand clues
But no matter which way I turned
I got something to lose
Something to lose

Oh Valerie
Oh, I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie
I never thought it would go this far

The last I saw of Valerie
She was hung in the student gallery
By some aspiring soul
I hope she understands her role

So stuck in my confusion
With one last ???
I got just close to say
I wish that I had ???

Oh Valerie
Oh, I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie
I never thought it would go this far


I hate adding incomplete lyrics, but I'm not superhuman. If you know what goes where there are question marks, let me know!
