[Verse 1]
She walked into the room
Like people tend to do when they show up
She was only twenty-two
And sick of people telling her to grow up
It just gets worse the more you wait
And you could easily find a date if you only wanted to
You're such a pretty girl
From your lavender hair down to your combat boots (Woah, woah, woah)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She tried hard to get that feeling (Woah, woah, woah)
That comes easy to you and I (Woah, woah, woah)
Still, she thought it might be funny (Woah, woah, woah)
To do one selfless deed before she died

[Chorus]
Valerie
She doesn't know how to be like every other girl
She's alone in her little world
And you can't come in
Valerie
Standing on the balcony
And if you look you could see into her mind
But you can't come in
[Verse 2]
And if you never knew nobody
Then how'd you ever know that you were lonely
She'd known someone who had
And if that's the case then what's the point in knowing
She stood there in the open for everyone to see
Too proud to ask for anybody's help
She had this revelation
The sheer amount of work that it would take to be like everybody else (Woah, woah, woah)

[Bridge]
But she didn't want them anyways (Woah, woah woah)
She's no damsel in distress (Woah, woah, woah)
She just sipped her daiquiri (Woah, woah, woah)
And wished she wasn't easily convinced (Woah, woah, woah)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But who were you fooling anyways? (Woah, woah, woah)
You should have guessed, you should have known (Woah, woah, woah)
It doesn't matter what they say (Woah, woah, woah)
Some people like to be alone

[Chorus]
Valerie
She doesn't know how to be like every other girl
She's alone in her little world
And you can't come in
Valerie
Standing on the balcony
And if you look you could see into her mind
But you can't come in
[Outro]
You can't come in
You can't come in
No, you can't come in
You can't come in
You can't come in
You can't come in
No, you can't come in
You can't come in
You can't come in
You can't come in
