Oh Vanessa
I've learned my lesson
And I've guit that (this) messin' around
So won't you come back to me
I'll be good to you, sweetheart
I'm beggin' for a new start
Vanessa it ain't nesessary
for you to keep hurtin' me
Now love ain't wrong
But you ain't right
Treat me like a lover
That's never had a thing
Come by your house
And turn off the light
I call you on the phone
It just rings, rings, rings,
Oh Vanessa
I've learned my lesson
And I've guit that (this) messin' around
So won't you come back to me
I'll be good to you, sweetheart
I'm beggin' for a new start
Vanessa it ain't nesessary
for you to keep hurtin' me
Tell me baby soon
And maybe you'll be true and comin' back
Don't you be so cruel
Just don't you treat me a fool
Just like that, like that
Now I was good to your mom
And I talked to your dad
But they sympathize with all the guys
My friends they say you're not doin' bad
That makes me wanna go home and cry, cry, cry
Oh Vanessa
I've learned my lesson
And I've guit that (this) messin' around
So won't you come back to me
I'll be good to you, sweetheart
I'm beggin' for a new start
Vanessa it ain't nesessary
for you to keep hurtin' me
I know Vanessa, I know Vanessa
Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa,
Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa,
Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa,
Oh Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa,
