Album: How Cruel (1979)

  • 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"

    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"

    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" Writer/s: DESMOND CHILD, DIANE WARREN, JON BON JOVI, RICHARD SAMBORA
