Tom Robson - Ugly, Rosie Lyrics

I used to be good at all I did
I thought so, who am I tryin' to kid
I used to think I could do anything
Not really, I just wanted to dream
Everyone else is better than me
Go on and look, it's easy to see
I wanna be as good as I am in my head
But I close the door, and just sit on my bed
And I call myself

Ugly, Rosie
Lonely, Rose
Unlovely, Rosie
Slowly, Rose

At hide and seek I'm always it
I never win so I always quit
When picking teams for basketball
I'm always the one who gets left on the wall
I'm never first, and I'm never fast
When choosin sides they always choose me last
So I walk down the hall and just stare at the floor
I slip in the back and I sit by the door
And I call myself

Ugly, Rosie
Lonely, Rose
Unlovely, Rosie
Slowly, Rose

But inside
I feel the way you do
Inside
What hurts you hurts me too

I don't need to be as bright as a shining star
I don't need to be as good as I know you are
If ya got some kindness won't you send it my way
It takes all I can get to just get through the day
Don't laugh at me, I won't laugh at you
If I'm safe from that, then you're safe too
Then I can be as good as I know how to be
If you let me in, then I think you'll see
That I'll never be

Ugly
I'll just be Rosie
I won't be lonely
I'll just be Rose
You won't always love me
Just don't hate me
I may bloom lately
But at least I'll grow
At least I will grow
I'll grow
I'll grow
Out of ugly, Rose
