Vannelli, Gino - Venus Envy Lyrics
Don't want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice
Not some man-made goddess custom cut and spliced
Don't need no great big set of charms to tempt my heart (oh no)
Prefer the feel of something real over plastic art
Well Aphrodite's got grace but she ain't the face I know and I love
Lost in the heavens above
Why do you wanna be Venus?
When your light shines brighter than the brightest star
Why do you wanna be anyone else other than who you are?
Why do you wanna be Venus?
When you're so much more than she could ever be
Yeah I feel like I'm losing you
Come back to me
Not some babe who comes unstitched before every mirror on the wall
Yeah DiMilo's some piece but no thanks please
Not my cup of tea (oh no)
'Cause I want flesh and bone and not some block of stone
Lying in bed next to me
Why do you wanna be Venus?
When your light shines brighter than the brightest star
Why do you wanna be anyone else other than who you are?
Why do you wanna be Venus?
When you're so much more than she could ever be
Yeah I feel like I'm losing you
Blame it on those dippy dreams of beauty queens
Who kowtow to the pressure
Prescribing to the point of view that bigger is better
Yeah those tattooed lips those vacuumed hips this whole insanity
Remember what you do you do for you and not for me
Why do you wanna be Venus?
When your light shines brighter than the brightest star
Why do you wanna be anyone else other than who you are?
Why do you wanna be Venus?
When you're so much more than she could ever be
Yeah I feel like I'm losing you
Come back to me (come back to me)
Baby please come back to me
Come back, yeah
(Don't want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice)
Baby please come back to me
(Don't want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice)

À RÉAL ARTIST!
Masterful musicianship.
the intro is stunning and atmospheric
After I heard the album "Storm at Sunup" It occurred to me that there was no one around recording albums that can touch this guy.
The whole album is outstanding. Buy it !!! ;)
FYI: Yes there are "references" to Horace Silver's "Song for my Father" but the song goes in whole different direction after that. Another gem from Gino and some serious guitar work from Alan Hinds.
...and he is very handsome
one song so beautiful and since i heard is lost in my head ,very funny
perfect !!!!
Just love it!
AWESOME!!!!!!
looks like "Song for my father"))))))
wow! hahaha
They compose n produce with an exquisite bass consciousness. it's a vital part of tht Vannelli sound FYI - I post ad nauseam bc I'm obsessed by great sound
aaaand this is is how a man really feels about the woman he truly adores
UTTER MADNESS! He's just gotten greater. Nice to see a Legend Live ON & ON & ON &....!!!
Joe Vannelli's (and Gino's) music theory is wonderful. Love the chordal progressions and arrangement. Truely fantastic and one of a kind, as usual! :)
better as a web comic
what can I say ?
There's a lot of music - and there' Vanelli !
I LOVE GINO AND I LOVE THIS SONG, IT'S BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT! I'M JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY PARODIES OF THIS SONG AROUND. MY IMAGINATION IS RUNNING WILD! HEH HEH! WOULD BE FUN TO HEAR!
This song should be a global hit. Absolutely love it - especially this version.
love this song! Great CD too!
love his new CD
Wonderful version of "Venus Envy", heard him sing it live in Las Vegas and Niagara Falls last year.....If you don't have "The Best and Beyond" or "Stardust In The Sand", it's a must for your collection....Let's support G in all he does !!!!
Love this version of Venus envy
