Vanessa's father, he liked to be alone
|
Creating works of art, which he'd paint in a cottage made of stone
|
One day I crept inside, and I was unaware
|
of what I was gong to find, well the pictures they opened up my mind.
|
I saw sculptures of young lovers intertwined,
|
And on their bodies he had signed his name,
|
And so I left that place, with a different look upon my face.
|
|
Well I was fifteen and he had a certain charm,
|
The way he smiled at me and the way that he'd gently touch my arm,
|
And somehow we would always be alone
|
When it was time to take me home
|
And so we'd speed through the countryside
|
In his convertible we'd ride
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Vanessa's father, was driving me home at night,
|
And I never said a word, oh but somehow we just got here,
|
Her father, was driving me home at night,
|
And when I think back to then,
|
I would count the days til I could go there again,
|
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
|
|
Another weekend, strange thoughts inside of me,
|
Is it Vanessa who I am really going there to see,
|
I'd smoke a cigarette, I'd thought so secretly,
|
But the door it gently opened and he stood there smiling down at me,
|
And then he pushed me backwards against the wall,
|
I looked up cause he's so tall,
|
And then he stared into my eyes,
|
and kissed me so hard I cried.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Vanessa's father, was sleeping with me at night,
|
And I never said a word, oh but somehow we just got here,
|
Her father, was sleeping with me at night,
|
And when I think back to then,
|
I would count the days til I could see him again,
|
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
|
|
The shaft of light would fall against my skin,
|
That would seem sensual to him,
|
But I'm too young to use these qualities, you bitch,
|
I must be evil, I must be tained.
|
He breathed against the girl, he's painted a thousand times,
|
I give up, and put out to him.
|
|
Now this present time, look back on history,
|
Oh and it seems so clear,
|
Everything has been planned out for me,
|
My husband smiles at me, sends love for me to see,
|
I can't regret my past,
|
Cause Vanessa's father,
|
Is married to me
|
