about

A friend was mad about a girl named Rosilyn, we were in high school. He never told her, I believe I was the only one who knew...

lyrics

She’s the kind of girl
That you’d dream all about and
Oh will you ever try?
Surely if you’d apply
A little effort
She might flash a smile
And you’ll feel a little better
More than a passing glance
Oh won’t you take a chance?
You’re valentino

But you feel like you’ll never have
A girl like her so you never plant the seed
So as sure as the falling rain
She’ll find another lover and your heart will bleed

She’s the kind of girl
Makes you leave all the others
But oh, baby you won’t mind
You’ll only want to spend your time
Between her arms
And she’s the kind of girl
That you take home to mamma
Sweeter than apple pie
You see your future in her eyes
You’re makin’ babies

But you feel like you’ll never have
A girl like her so you never plant the seed
So as sure as the falling rain
She’ll find another lover and your heart will bleed

Birds may someday want to fly away
And love can be gilded cage
Rosilyn is free

Why don’t you tell the girl
You want her to be all your own?
Why don’t you tell her that you love her
And you think you’ve always known?

Why do you sit and stare?
Tomorrow is another day
How will you ever face the mirror
If she gets away?

But you feel like you’ll never have
A girl like her so you never plant the seed
So as sure as the falling rain
She’ll find another lover and your heart will bleed

Birds may someday want to fly away
And love can be gilded cage
Rosilyn is free

Don't got no money or the time of day
All night I'm workin'
Well you know that girl is Rosilyn

For her love

Love in the mornings, love that easy chair
Love in the evenings
Oh love's always on my mind
These days

For her love

Well you know that girl is Rosss
