The Vitaceae are a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants, including the grapevine and Virginia creeper. The family name is derived from the genus Vitis. The name sometimes appears as Vitidaceae, but Vitaceae is a conserved name and therefore has priority over both Vitidaceae and another name sometimes found in the older literature, Ampelidaceae.
The relationships of Vitaceae are unclear and the family does not appear to have any close relatives. In the Cronquist system, the family was placed near the family Rhamnaceae in order Rhamnales. The family was placed in the rosid clade, but not classified in an order, by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). APG III (2009) places Vitaceae in its own order, Vitales. Phylogenetic analyses support Vitaceae as the sister-group to all other rosids (Jansen et al. 2006).
Most Vitis species have 38 chromosomes (n=19), but 40 (n=20) in subgenus Muscadinia, while Ampelocissus, Parthenocissus, and Ampelopsis also have 40 chromosomes (n=20) and Cissus has 24 chromosomes (n=12).
Oh my baby sais she likes me (likes me, likes me)
and I think that's all right
and my baby sais she needs me (needs me, needs me)
in the middle of the night
all right, so my baby sais she wants me (wants me, wants me)
and I know that's all right
and she sais she wants be near me (near me, near me)
every day and night (every day and night)
But sometimes she drives me crazy
and I know it's something sad (I know, I know)
but my baby's got a habit
she really gets me mad when she's fighting and again and again
My baby loves to argue (argue, argue)
in the middle of the night
Every time I'm really tired (tired, tired)
she feels like picking up the fight
in the middle of the night
She don't need reasons (reasons, reasons)
is she whatever comes away
and she can take it on forever and ever (and ever)
until the dawn of day
'til I just wanna be stay out of my way
Yes sometimes she drives me crazy
and I know it's something sad (I know, I know)
but my baby's got a habit

and I think that's alright
having her by my side
Baby loves to argue
in the middle of the night
Every time I'm really tired (tired, tired)

in the middle of the night
Yes sometimes she drives me crazy
and I know it's something sad (I know, I know)
but my baby's got that habit
she really gets me mad when she's fighting and again and again
