Vanessa Lyrics

[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
