Valentine told me who’s to go
Feelings he treasured most of all
The teachers and the football stars
It’s in his tiny face
It’s in his scrawny hands
Valentine sold his soul
He’s got something to say
It’s Valentine’s day
The rhythm of the crowd
Benny and Judy down
Valentine sees it all
He’s got something to say
It’s Valentine’s day
Valentine told me how he feels
If all the world were under his heels
Or stumbling through the mall
It’s in his tiny face
It’s in his scrawny hands
Valentine Knows it all
He’s got something to say
It’s Valentine’s day
Valentine, Valentine
Valentine, Valentine
It’s in his scrawny hands
It’s in his icy heart
It’s happening today
Valentine, Valentine
It’s in his scrawny hands
It’s in his icy heart
It’s happening today
Valentine, Valentine
Feelings he treasured most of all
The teachers and the football stars
It’s in his tiny face
It’s in his scrawny hands
Valentine sold his soul
He’s got something to say
It’s Valentine’s day
The rhythm of the crowd
Benny and Judy down
Valentine sees it all
He’s got something to say
It’s Valentine’s day
Valentine told me how he feels
If all the world were under his heels
Or stumbling through the mall
It’s in his tiny face
It’s in his scrawny hands
Valentine Knows it all
He’s got something to say
It’s Valentine’s day
Valentine, Valentine
Valentine, Valentine
It’s in his scrawny hands
It’s in his icy heart
It’s happening today
Valentine, Valentine
It’s in his scrawny hands
It’s in his icy heart
It’s happening today
Valentine, Valentine

The next day
Valentine's Day è un brano musicale scritto ed interpretato dal musicista rock britannico David Bowie, quarto singolo estratto dall'album The Next Day del 2013. Il singolo è stato pubblicato il 19 agosto 2013 in Gran Bretagna e il 20 negli Stati Uniti.
Il videoclip musicale di Valentine's Day venne diretto da Indrani e Markus Klinko, che avevano in precedenza collaborato con Bowie per il suo album del 2002 Heathen. Il video mostra Bowie in un magazzino vuoto, mentre suona una chitarra rossa (dalla strana forma simile a un fucile) e canta la canzone. Alcuni critici hanno fanno notare il contrasto con gli altri video dei singoli precedenti estratti dall'album (in particolare con quello censurato di The Next Day) e descrissero quello di Valentine's Day come molto più "consueto" rispetto agli altri. Tuttavia, sono altresì stati fatti notare nel video riferimenti alla violenza e alla National Rifle Association, che suggeriscono di come il video possa contenere un messaggio sottotestuale contro la diffusione della armi e a favore della non violenza.
