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, Rosie
