Rosie whatcha doing in this low class joint
Dancing in the dark all day?
You used to be the darling of your high school scene
Now you put your love on display
Sweaty hands hand you up a dollar bill
Hungry eyes never seem to get their fill
I used to watch you walking down the hall
Rosie, do you see me when you hear them call your name?

Rosie, Rosie, I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie, I'm gonna make you mine someday

Rosie, I went with you for that rose tattoo
You promised no one else would see
I used to wait and drive you home from dancing school
Remember when you danced just for me?
Our love was deeper than the night was long
But things just didn't work out like our favorite song
I used to watch you walking down the hall
Rosie, do you see me when you hear them call your name?

Rosie, Rosie, I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie, I'm gonna make you mine someday, Rosie, Rosie

Do you remember our love was deeper than the night was long
But things just didn't work out like our favorite song
I used to watch you walking down the hall
Rosie, do you see me when you hear them call your name, Rosie?

Rosie, Rosie, I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie, I'm gonna make you mine someday, Rosie, Ros
