Grateful Dead - Valerie lyrics

I did all of the things that you wanted me to

I went downtown with my picket knife, cut your other man,

Cut your other man, but I spared his life

Valerie won't you be good to me?

Hey Valerie, Baby what's the matter with you?

Come on, come Baby, and tell me true

Hey now Baby, what did I do? I shot my dog 'cause he growled at you

Valerie won't you be good to me?

Valerie what's the matter with me? I never ever done you no wrong

I sing the blues nearly all night long.

Valerie what the matter with me? You know I'd do anything that you'd say

I can't understand why you tell me "Please go away"

I ain't afraid of the cold. cruel world outside

No chicken little running from a falling sky

The only thing trouble's me is you. If you leave me what will I do?

Valerie won't you be good to me?

You got me down on the knees of my shaking feet

Can't play the blues 'cause for you I drop the beat

Valerie what your complaint? I try to be everything I ain't

Valerie won't you be good to me
