Rosie

Rosie whatcha doin' in this low class joint, dancing in the dark all day
You used to be the darling of the high school scene
Now you put your love on display
Sweaty hands hand you up a dollar bill
Hungry eyes never seem to get their fill
I used to watch you walking down the hall
Remember when I used to call your name
Rosie, Rosie
I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie
I'm gonna make you mine someday
Rosie I went with you for that rose tattoo, you promised no one else would see
And I would wait to drive you home from dancing school
Remember when you danced just for me
Our love was deeper than the night was long
But things just didn't work out like our favorite song
Baby don't you know we could have had it all
Rosie do you see me when you hear them call your name
Rosie, Rosie
I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie
I'm gonna make you mine someday
Promises are promised, some are meant to keep
Some are meant to breaking 'cause you're in too deep
I wish I'd never seen this place before
Because it kills me when I hear them call your name
Rosie, Rosie
I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie
I'm gonna make you mine someday
