Grimes – Vanessa Lyrics 13 years ago
The lyrics as listed make sense but they dont match the sounds she makes in the song. Though in concert Sunday night my friend who was stage front heard Claire has a lisp but you couldnt hear one 30 feet back where I was standing. In an interview she said she gets really nervous so that could have been the change in voice that came across as a lisp. She also baby talks for different song lines which can sound lisp like.

This is as I hear it. Help/change/add please if anyone else also hears different than the lyrics as written above.

Grimes-Vanessa lyrics

I've been..

Oh I've been waiting definitely
And my heart is here right next to me
And I'm caught waiting in the rain
x2

and I know and it *...what the is she saying?*
and I oh-oh-oh-I-I, oh-oh-oh-I-I-I-I (you can def see her oh-I in the video)

Chorus
Hey hey you wanna play
but baby I can go go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
but baby I'd employ you if I didn't know you
but I'm paying for it
x2

ooh ha huh ha huh ah huh ah huh

Baby I'd employ you, if I didn't know you
but I'm paying for it

I hold on
and I don't care what you say
but the way it goes it's happening everyday
I can't see straight *...what the is she saying?*

I hold on
and I don't care what you say
cause the way it goes it's happening everyday

Everyday x 5
day
d-day d-day
Everyday
d-day d-day
Everyday
d-day d-day

Hey hey you wanna play but baby I can go go
and every other day you're running over flow-flow
baby I'd implore you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it
x2
______________________

Note the chorus changes which is somewhat atypical of the average song so I'm not claiming this is what she does but I hear it one way at the beginning of the song and a bit different at the end. In Claire's own words, she makes the beats and sounds, most specifically ah or ooh sounds when writing and then she constructs the vocals around that.
