| Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
|
| Young and yet wise, only a child
|
| Wake up in the morning, frown across your face
|
| I know your name, but not your place
|
| Wish I could show you how to live your life
|
| But I’m not sure which one of us is right
|
| God only knows the tears I’ve cried
|
| Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
|
| Have you got life wrong, is it just a game?
|
| Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night
|
| Friends are hard to find, especially at night
|
| Wish I could show you how to live your life
|
| But I’m not sure which one of us is right
|
| God only knows, and He’s the one that shows, the tears I’ve cried
|
| And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say
|
| «Light's not the only way to be»?
|
| And if I asked you for your love, would you not say
|
| «Love is not what you want from me»?
|
| And would I not be right
|
| To sit alone and wonder every night?
