Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the dark?
Well, I used to know a girl, and I could have sworn
That her name was Veronica
[Verse 2]
Well, she use to have a carefree mind of her own
And a delicate look in her eye
These days, I'm afraid, she's not even sure
If her name is Veronica
[PreChorus]
Do you suppose that waiting hands-on-eyes
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
[Chorus]
Veronica
Veronica (Veronica)
Veronica
[Verse 3]
Did the days drag by? Did the favors wane?
Did he roam down the town all the while?
Will you wake from your dream with a wolf at the door
Reaching out for Veronica?
[Verse 4]
Well, it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship on the sea
With a picture of Veronica
[Bridge]
On the 'Empress of India'
And as she closed her eyes upon the world
And picked upon the bones of last week's news
She spoke his name out loud again
[PreChorus]
Do you suppose that waiting hands-on-eyes
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
[Chorus]
Veronica
Veronica (Veronica)
Veronica
[Verse 5]
Veronica sits in her favorite chair
She sits very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get right
And if they don't, then nobody else will
[Verse 6]
But she use to have a carefree mind of her own
With a devilish look in her eye
Saying, "You can call me anything you like
But my name is Veronica"
[PreChorus]
Do you suppose that waiting hands-on-eyes
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
[Chorus]
Veronica
Veronica
Oh, oh Veronica
