Painted, Tainted Rose

She was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her heaven knows
But though my heart was true
It would never do
Party life was what she chose

Last night I saw my lovely rose
All painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes had lost their spark
The years had left their mark
She's just a painted tainted rose

She was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her heaven knows
But though my heart was true
It would never do
Party life was what she chose

Last night I saw my lovely rose
All painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes had lost their spark
The years had left their mark
She's just a painted tainted rose
She was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her heaven knows
But though my heart was true
It would never do
Party life was what she chose

Last night I saw my lovely rose
All painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes had lost their spark
The years had left their mark
She's just a painted tainted rose

She was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her heaven knows
But though my heart was true
It would never do
Party life was what she chose

Last night I saw my lovely rose
All painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes had lost their spark
The years had left their mark
She's just a painted tainted rose
She's just a painted tainted rose
