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?
