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
