Dan Amato & the Sentimental Gentlemen - Roses for Rosie Lyrics

(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Dating a new babe pale as a winter day
And breaking ways in ain't been easy
She don't wake up 'til late, hates when I call her "baby"
Working the same wasting my love over at Kay's

She don't like diamonds 'cause they last like wine
She just wants something that'll die over time
Like the ends of her black hair, grass by her lawn chair
She just wants something like her soul inside
That's why I bought

Roses for Rosie
On the cloudiest day of the year
Roses for Rosie
At the lousiest market 'round here
Ohh

(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
She's gonna place them in a beautiful vase
But underneath the shade with no water or rain
She'll go about her days, pacing past with a straight face
'Cause in her case the beauty grows
As the life flows out from its' veins

She don't like sleep unless it's after a fight
She just wants something in her mind that feels like
A punch to the gut, a kick to the shins
A finger up to her as long as it stings
That's why I bought

Roses for Rosie
On the cloudiest day of the year
Roses for Rosie
At the lousiest market 'round here

She'll cut the strings on my guitar
'Cause that's her kinda fun
Throw out my sandwich I was saving for lunch
Take all my money, my keys and run
And there's no one- no one- nobody else I want

(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
Nobody baby!
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)

Roses for Rosie
On the cloudiest day of the year
Roses for Rosie
At the lousiest market 'round here
Woahhh

(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
(Woo-hoo, Woo-hoo)
