Men stop in their tracks when they see me Become tongue-tied, try but cannot speak We supermodels are paid for our looks, and very handsomely They see me at an airport, make an approach, Chat me up, stilted conversation ensues Oh well, confidentially, I don't mind as I'm just killing time, on my way to the next shoot in Ibiza, then Italy. Vanisa is the name; I made it up, keeps me sane Running down the highway of fashion In the body that is mine I cannot help if I was born this way Sublime, the money I make but, look, It's not that great to hold a bottle of perfume Or pretend to eat steak But, Oh, the attention from the men who cross my path They dream of me, they say, that's a laugh If they only knew what a B I can be, they'd think twice about Their fantasy Look, I'm a nice person, got a family back home Minnesota is my hideout from the mishigas I've known And I read books, really I do Want to talk politics? That would be cool Here comes another candidate Lets see what he has to say Yes I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated Yay, he says, then comes his big smile It's so nice everyone loves me Makes it all worthwhile.

Supermodel
Men stop in their tracks when they see me Become tongue-tied, try but cannot speak We supermodels are paid for our looks, and very handsomely They see me at an airport, make an approach, Chat me up, stilted conversation ensues Oh well, confidentially, I don't mind as I'm just killing time, on my way to the next shoot in Ibiza, then Italy. Vanisa is the name; I made it up, keeps me sane Running down the highway of fashion In the body that is mine I cannot help if I was born this way Sublime, the money I make but, look, It's not that great to hold a bottle of perfume Or pretend to eat steak But, Oh, the attention from the men who cross my path They dream of me, they say, that's a laugh If they only knew what a B I can be, they'd think twice about Their fantasy Look, I'm a nice person, got a family back home Minnesota is my hideout from the mishigas I've known And I read books, really I do Want to talk politics?
