Lyrics
TANYA IS (WHAT ANIA'S NOT!)
BY STEPHEN T. WEEKS
(C) 2000-2005
SHE SAID "LOVE IS LIKE THE WIND; LIFE IS CRUEL SOMETIMES"
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS, I'VE GOT YOU BABY,
NO ONE'S GONNA FALL...
TANYA IS WHAT ANIA'S NOT
ANNA COOL, TANYA HOT!
TANYA FOUND A SECRET DOOR
NOW ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE!
I SAID, "TALK IS CHEAP, MY FRIEND, AND HEARTS GROW COLD, SOMETIMES,
DON'T YOU WORRY IN THE END, I'LL CATCH YOU BABY, NO ONE'S GONNA FALL, NO ONE'S GONNA FALL!"
TANYA IS WHAT ANIA'S NOT
ANNA COOL, TANYA HOT!
TANYA FOUND A SECRET DOOR,
NOW ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE, NO MORE!
ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE...
AROUND & AROUND THE WORLD SHE FLYS
WITH THE MAGIC IN HER EYES
AROUND & AROUND THE WORLD SHE GOES
NOBODY KNOWS HER NAME, IT'S ALL THE SAME,
HER LOVE IS LIKE A FLAME
SHE SAID, "LOVE IS LIKE THE WIND; LIFE IS CRUEL SOMETIMES"
DON'T YOU WORRY, ABOUT THE THESE THINGS, I'VE GOT YOU BABY,
NO ONE'S GONNA FALL (NO), NO ONE'S GONNA FALL...
TANYA IS WHAT ANIA'S NOT
ANNA COOL, TANYA HOT!
TANYA FOUND A SECRET DOOR
NOW ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE
MY ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE
ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE, NO MORE!
TANYA IS WHAT ANIA'S NOT
ANNA COOL, TANYA HOT!
TANYA FOUND A SECRET DOOR
NOW ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE
ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE
ANNA DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE!
