lyrics

You never knew me
When I was young and on my own.
You saw right through me,
But, when I looked at you, I was gone.
I couldn’t do it—
I couldn’t stand to live that way;
Before I knew it,
I was begging you to stay…
You to stay—oh Rose…
Rose, oh Rose, you were something to see.
Rose, oh Rose, you were something to me,
And I know—
That you have always been on your own,
You’d rather kick it than be alone,
And you would miss me, were I to be gone,
Oh Rose…
I couldn’t win, there,
So I would move beyond that plan.
If you had been there,
I might have been a different man,
Who stood undaunted
And knew exactly what to do.
I always wanted
To get to know someone like you…
Someone like you—Oh, Rose
Rose, oh Rose, you were something to see.
Rose, oh Rose, you were something to me,
And I know—
That you have always been on your own,
You’d rather kick it than be alone,
And you would miss me, were I to be gone,
Oh Rose, oh, I said,
Rose, oh Rose, you were something to see.
Rose, oh Rose, you were something to me,
And I know—
That you have always been on your own,
You’d rather kick it than be alone,
And you would miss me, were I to be gone,

Oh Rose…
