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
