Tender as a Rose |
| She was as tender as a rose |
| She was as soft as snowy down |
| And from her head down to her toes |
| She was a dream that hung around |
| She was as fresh as april |
| Warm as may |
| And all the fellas threw their hearts away |
| But all of her lovin was Joe’s she was as tender as a rose |
| I guess that Joe was pretty sick |
| His feelings went from cold to hot |
| Her love to him was just a kick |
| His ego needed her a lot |
| And when he took her away she wore a smile |
| Fate crossed it’s fingers for that lovely child |
| Cause all of her lovin' was Joe’s |
| She was as tender as a rose |
| She came back walking all alone |
| She wasn’t gone for very long |
| She came back with a heart of stone |
| We knew that everything had gone wrong |
| And when you ask her why she’s out each night |
| She’ll say, «Brother, once I tried to be right |
| Once all of my loving was Joe’s |
| I was as tender as a rose.» |
| She was as tender as a rose |
