The Rose Lyrics

Song Text:

Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.

Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.

So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
