I told you from the start,
I couldn't give you my heart,
It belonged to someone else.
I tried like hell but still we fell,
I guess we could not help ourselves.
You sure felt good in my world, little girl,
But it's time to draw the line.
'Cause there's a lady who's mine,
And she's not the kind
To just die upon the vine.

Rose knows something's going on.
Rose knows she's spending too much time alone.
I suppose, better get myself back home,
Rose knows something's going on.

Instrumental break featuring steel guitar.

I'd love to stay here,
And lay down with you, dear,
And hold you one more time.
I wish it could be, but unfortunately,
I've got roses on my mind.

Fade.
Rose knows something's going on.

1From the liner notes, Coe writes, "Dedication: When I first heard this
song about two years ago I thought it was great, but at the time I wasn't
into doing other people's songs. However, after all these years, I still
think it's a good song and that's all that matters to me now. Doing good
songs no matter who writes them."
