Lyrics

'Vanessa' - copyright 2004 Ed Bast

Intro
The fact that I?m rich is the thing which is tearing us apart,
I?ve more money than sense, I thought I could buy your heart,
But down the telephone line, dime by dime,
I sing these words to buy me time.

Verse 1
I?d rather part with money than with you,
Vanessa it?s true,
The family silver too would soon be on its way,
And if you can afford the time,
I?ll say what?s on my mind,
It?s you, Vanessa it?s you.

Verse 2
I?d give it all away and wouldn?t care,
Vanessa I?d swear,
If you were all I had, I wouldn?t ask for more,
The more I think I about you,
The less I want to share,
Vanessa I swear.

Verse 3
Tell me now, do you ever think of me the way I think of you?
If you knew your worth to me you know I?d never do,
Those things that you accuse me of.
Don?t go now, try and see things from my point of view,
It?s the truth,
Vanessa it?s true.

Verse 4
I?d pay any price to be with you,
Vanessa it?s true,
I count the days and nights since you went away,
And if I count the cost,
I realise just what I?ve lost,
It?s you,
Vanessa it?s you,
Vanessa it?s you.
