Lyrics:

Verse 1:
She said �I am Rosie� I said �I thought you were Lucy�
She said �No Rosie I told you so�
Was here with you sister but she was gone when I got back
I was up dancin for fun y�know
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it�s here
And now I�m freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name selling E�s in the dark
But hey it�s nothing to shout about

Bridge:
Don�t just say yes to tease me
Do your up most to please me
I don�t mean to be sleazy
Being you can�t be easy

Chorus:
When you�re creepin' up the backstairs
Mother�s nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed let�s go
Take your brother�s car keys, bye, bye

Verse 2:
Well I see your yellow fingers and your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was there when yer best friend said �sweetheart�
I�m just here to get drunk again
I wouldn�t move if I was you
I wouldn�t want to get caught when the lights go out
She said �you think you�re so special� I said
�Sunshine I�m just bored I�m just checking out�
