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?       Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name   Young and yet wise, only a child   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
