Renée

Renée (often spelled without the accent in non-French speaking countries) is a French feminine given name.

Renée is the female form of René, with the extra –e making it feminine according to French grammar. The name Renée is the French form of the late Roman name Renatus and the meaning is reborn or born again. In medieval times, the meaning was associated with the Christian concept of being spiritually born again through baptism.

Renee was among the top 100 names given to girls in the United States in the late 1950s, the 1960s, the 1970s and the early 1980s. It ranked as the 734th most popular name given to American girls in 2008 and is continuing to fall in popularity.

    Hey, Renee
    How you doing today, Renee
    Picking up a cup of coffee
    Then you'll be on your way
    Take a sip or two
    What's it like to be you
    Is it really as perfect
    As we'd like to conclude
    Or do you lie awake at night
    Contemplating life
    Trying to remember some line of a song
    Do you stare off into space
    Dreaming of a place
    Where you can just erase what went wrong
    Hey, Renee
    We got you up on display today
    How do you process our opinions
    With a smile on your face
    Hollywood
    I guess the pay's pretty good (it should be)
    But I don't think I'd trade places with you
    Even if I could
    I'm sure there're days you have your doubts
    Wonder what it's all about
    When you can't wait to just go home and get out of those shoes
    Might pace across the floor
    Cause you know there's something more
    But can't decide what door you should choose
    Me too
    Hey, Renee
    It'll all be okay
    Sorry, no, you don't know me
    Hope you have a nice day
    You got a tough role to play
    Jesus loves you, Renee
