Rosalie was a girl in town that never caught her self a lucky break.
She said a lot of pretty girls had luck like hers
from growing up on filthy west-end streets.
But every time I get a look out of the corner of my eye,
I've got to turn and do a double take.
And every time she walks away I get a lump in my throat
and my knees begin to tremble and shake.

And she walks on all fours up the staircase and she puts her face in my face.
And I swear I never met a better lover or a dancer,
and I will not in all my life, when she walks.

Growing up isn't easy.
It can make you kind of dizzy.
Life moves quickly when you make mistakes.
Growing old's kinda slow,
sitting watching years go.
Kinda makes you want to step back and think.
Kinda makes you want to step back and think.
Kinda makes you want to step back and think.

As she walks away I got to say
I had a pretty good run this year.
It seems the pain goes away a little more each day
And pretty soon I'm gonna be okay.
As she walks back in again,
this time my lover is my friend.
And all the weirdness that we felt had past.
And my anxiety is gone.
It didn't take too long.
And my short-term results are going to last.
Rosalie.
