Lyrics Sweet Rosalyn - Sheryl Crow

Sweet Rosalyn

Slappin’leather was devised
During a wild streak in her life
She has a cheap apartment
Up on Royal Street
She brought home just enough
To keep her on her feet
She don’t believe in anything
But it you ask her, she’ll say
There’s plenty of things to believe in Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in Sometimes you gotta be loved
She got a number off the bathroom wall
She was looking for a good time
So she made the call
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
Sneaky little priest trying to reach out to the swine
He said, Hello my name is Father Tim
Seems to me your zeal for this life
Has been wearing a little thin
Well, maybe we all could use a little grace
To know when to run and when to Stay in one place
