Michael plays with stars
   Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car
   Late to call
   When you wanted to be all
   Baby don't be so shy
   Rock children hold your heads up high
   In the night while I try
   And tell the ballad of Valentine
  
   You got it bad, but you know it's true
  
   I caught up with a friend in Dallas
   We took a trip to New Orleans
   Those black-eyed ladies
   Won't say they're sorry
  
   We finally caught a train to Memphis
   Where everybody talks the same
   Those blue suede babies
   All know my name
  
   And I said hold tight
   Can't you see it's hurting me
   But I've got the buzz
   Like Marlon Brando
   Michael Valentine, can't we unite?
  
   We ended up in North Dakota
   Although my heart's in Mexico
   My ... (?)
   All went to Soho
  
   With your new suit, and your black tie
   Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like
   I broke to the right and I caught your eye
   Shut your mouth and wave goodbye
   Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade
  
   And I said hold tight
   Can't you see it's hurting me
   But I've got the buzz
   Like Marlon Brando
   Straight faced with misery tonight
  
   And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more
   But I've got the buzz
   Like Greta Garbo
   Walking forwards in the sun
   And I've got a cold tale left to write
  
   Well uh oh
   I know he's gonna be there tonight
