Verse 1

well, she was standing at the load in, when the trucks rolled up  
She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup  
She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had no where to go
So I gave her a pass so she could get in and see the show  
Well, I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer  
While I mixed that sound on the stage so the band could hear  
The more I watched her watch them play, the less I thought of to say
and when they walked offstage, the drummer swept that girl away  

Chorus

but Rosie your alright (you wear my ring)
when you hold me tight (Rosie, that's my thing)
when you turn out the lights (I got to hand it to me)
A (let ring) A E E B A, E B A
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie

Verse 2

Well I guess I might've known from the start, she'd come for a star  
Could've told my imagination not to run too far  
with all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd learned
that it's who you look like, not who you are  

Chorus

but Rosie your alright (you wear my ring)
when you hold me tight (Rosie, that's my thing)
when you turn out the lights (I got to hand it to me)
A (let ring) A E E B A, E B A
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie
