The release says that it is "written from the point-of-view of one of Plame's inside contacts upon discovering her true identity, the song is an amorous tribute to the onetime CIA operative."

Here are some of the lyrics, based on a YouTube video:

Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world


Dear Valerie Plame
So they made a wreck of you
But give me the rest of you
And I'll give the world...

So I took you into my confidence
Without a thought of consequence
To my heart or to my mind

La da da de da
la de da da
la de da da da da dada da

Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
From up high
