Don't Talk About Roses

Ladies nite in a down town bar
Cleveland, Ohio
Long tall women in fancy cars
Never say no

I tried to make you happy
I tried to make you see
Money don't mean nothin'
To a small town boy
Do you know really who you are?
Do you think I’m a rock n roll star?

Don't talk about roses
Talk about love
Don't talk about roses
Ya know it's never enough

Saturday night, feels all right
Cruisin' down Main Street
Strip joint, gang bang, waitin' for the
Big bang, never lay low

I tried to make you happy
I tried to make you see
Money don’t mean nothin'
To a small town boy
Do you know really who you are?
Do you think I’m a rock n roll star?

Don't talk about roses
Talk about love
Don't talk about roses
Ya know it's never enough
Never, never enough

Don't ya talk, oh never never never
It's never enough

Oh baby, you know what I mean
When I talk to you
I don't need flowers
I need some love, come on

I tried to make you happy
I tried to make you see
Money don't mean nothing
To a small town boy
Do you know really who you are?
Do you think I'm a rock n roll star?

Don't talk about roses
Talk about love
Don't talk about roses
Ya know it's never enough
Don't talk, don't talk
(don't talk about roses)
Oh, Rosie (talk about love)
Don't talk about roses
Ya know it's never enough
Never, never enough
Don't ya talk, don't ya talk
Don't talk about roses
