LYRICS
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
From the first day that I saw you
You were everything I wanted to get
I thought you could be my Romeo
And that I could be your lovely Juliet
First it seemed that would be perfect
But good old Shakespeare, he's always right
Their love burned as hot as ours did
Could only end up in a fight
Tears on my pillow
Oh, I cried much too long
And since you've been gone
I'm singing that song
And it goes
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Is there anyone helping me out
Of a Love full of doubt
But we came much too fast
To the point, where desire, turns to pain
All your kisses all your touches made me feel so good
Now they're driving me insane
I know that I'd be devastated
If you never ever touch me anymore
I can't let you go but I can't live with you
Never open and never close my door
Tears on my pillow
Oh, I cried much too long
And since you've gone
I'm singing that song
Yeah and it goes
Is there anyone helping me out
Of a Love full of doubt
Yes, I love you
No, I hate you
I can't tell the truth or lie
Please don't leave me
Don't be with me
Take my heart or I will die
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Is there anyone helping me out
Of a Love full of doubt
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na
Is there anyone helping me out
Of a Love full of doubt
Na na na na, Na na na
Na na na na, Na na na

REVIEWS
"Simple though, Victoria is skilled at her craft, skilled and experienced. As said, the lyrics are of a quality and her singing voice reflects this, very controlled, thought out, performed with skill that other singers lack."
