Rosanne

Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam,
What do you think you been doing
Rosanne, you need another kind of man,
What do you think you been doing
I left my evil ways back in my burning days
Nights were spent just to hold you,
You left your lovin' charms in someone else arms
What do you think you been doin', you´re my ruin,
Rosanne.
The way a lovebird flies a foolish heart just dies,
Trapped in your situation,
There are nothing I can say, I guess it´s been
that way
Since the dawn of creation,
Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam,
What do you think you been doing
Rosanne, you need another kind of man,
What do you think you been doing, you´re my ruin,
Rosanne.
Could have prevented all this, if we had taken the
time,
Could have prevented all this, if we had made up our
minds,
Rosanne.
