Vanessa Anneliese Petruo (born 23 October 1979), also known as Vany, is a German singer–songwriter and actress. She came to international prominence as a member of the all–female pop band No Angels, that was created during the talents show Popstars. The band enjoyed a great popularity throughout Central Europe, following their record–breaking debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" and the album Elle'ments. From 2001 to 2003, No Angels sold more than 5 million units. After their disbandment in 2003, Petruo launched her solo career.
After the release of the moderately successful solo song "Drama Queen", Petruo took much more control over her image and music. Following a short hiatus from public performance, she introduced elements of blues, funk and jazz into her solo album debut Mama Lilla Would, which was critically acclaimed but a commercial failure. Her musical ambitions have since mainly focused on her training as a jazz singer and several new compositions, widely published through her own MySpace. In 2007 Petruo refused to rejoin No Angels.
Did you play that guitar?
You think you could make me move my hips
I'm not that kind of girl
Read it from my lips
I like the queen of drama
You like the latin mama
I bet you think that's me, oh
You call me edens' sista
Oh no excuse me mista
I'm more than what you see, uh
You see my hips and my lips
And then you play that spanish guitar
What the hell is this, aha
You think you know
So you show
How simple people judged me so far
I'm not your senorita, latin diva, no
So if you tell 'em who i am
Baby let 'em know
That i'm more than a hot blooded woman
Tell 'em baby what you know
You know i am more
More than a hot blooded woman
If i show a different face
Would you leave without a trace
Do you think that i would care?
If you put my on that throne
Someday i could be gone
Like a summer love affair
You see my hips and my lips
And then you play that spanish guitar
What the hell is this?
You think you know
So you show
How simple people judged me so far
I'm not your senorita, latin diva no
So if you tell 'em who i am
Baby let 'em know
That i'm more than a hot blooded woman
Cuz baby what you know
You know i am more
More than a hot blooded woman
You think you know how i feel?
Some latin girls dance in your cheap videos
You play some congas
Let 'em dance in your shows
You think you could make me move my hips
I'm not that kind of girl
Read it from my lips
So if you tell 'em who i am
Baby let 'em know
That i'm more than a hot blooded woman
Tell 'em baby what you know
You know i am more
I am baby now
So if you tell 'em who i am
Baby let 'em know
That i'm more than a hot blooded woman
Cuz baby what you know
You know i am more
More than a hot blooded woman
