Vanessa

[Verse 1] She was too expensive Not the kind to pay the rent with The kind that begs the question Do I need corrective lenses Aren't they always retrospective They look past all the tension that we had inside [Chorus] I'm cold to the touch Burn me up Burn me Vanessa, Oh Burn me Vanessa, Oh [Verse 2] Did you find somebody different When you talk is he a listener Oh he can't be a better kisser I just know [Chorus] Oh I'm stoned to the touch Break it up Break me Vanessa, Oh Break me Vanessa, Oh [Post-Chorus] She's got those wits and lips to give pleasure And no time for the second guesser Vanessa I should have loved you (Vanessa, I should have loved you) [Verse 3] Tell me if its late In London where I wonder if you've ever seen my face Scribbled down a page a thousand words you let escape I never thought you'd call it off and leave before the rain I never thought, I guess I never loved you I should have loved you better, better [Bridge] She's got those wits and lips to give pleasure And no time for the second guesser Vanessa I should have loved you [Verse 4] Tell me if its late In London where I wonder did I lose you to the rain Some September far from now You found yourself a new escape Like all those evening walks you take often to wash away Those good nights gone to waste for you Vanessa [Outro] Vanessa, Vanessa Vanessa, Vanessa Vanessa, Vanessa Vanessa, Vanessa Vanessa, Vanessa
