You've lived your life And how you survived I'll never know People talk of hardships What do they know What do they know Of the strength you had to show To stop yourself from crying out To keep you head above the sand Those times when you were in dispair When trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You told him straight don't call again Now there were times When it seemed I didn't care Don't misjdge my silence You had my sympathy I had sympathy And I admired how you Stopped yourself from crying Kept your head above the sand When trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You told him straight Don't call again And now the future's looking bright You fought alone and won the fight Kept your faith When times were hard you made it through Trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You stopped yourself from crying out You kept your head above the sand Those times when you were in despair Trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You told him straight Don't call again

He has little red feet His stockin's in his shoes Lipstick and rouge on his face He has his hair piled high Has a red umbrella And carries his head in the sky And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" He has a little baby brother A big fat mama His sister asks for dimes on the street He doesn't feel it's a cover In fact he knows For sure he can please I said he's out there right now Running with the devil Struttin' down the alley ways With the nervous young hopeful At his heel And know his satisfaction won't drive him away And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" He's not looking for a friend He's not looking for a lover There in the crowded bar He has rings on his fingers He's there to tease You know he only wants to take things too far And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun"
