Rose Marie, I didn't know what love was at the time
I didn't want to stay and toe the line
Huh, I don't like it, but I guess I'm out of style
Ha, I don't like it, but I guess that I'm on trial

Won't you let me stay?
Rose Marie has gone away today
Won't you let me stay?
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean it at all

Rose Marie, I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
Asking you, what do you take me for?

Rose Marie, I think I know what love is, now's the time
Hey, to take evasive action at the crime
Ha, I don't like it, but I guess that I'm on trial
Hey, I don't like it, but I guess I'm out of style

Won't you let me stay?
Rose Marie is coming home today
Won't you let me stay?
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean it at all

Rose Marie, I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
Asking you, what do you take me for?
Where you gonna run before you crawl?
You'll be growing old before you know
Nothing I can do could make your day
It's easier to take off, run away

Won't you let me stay?
Lock the door and throw the key away
Won't you let me stay?
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't hurt you at all

Rose Marie, I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
Asking you, what do you take me for?
Rose Marie, I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
Asking you, what do you take me for?
Rose Marie (Got to take some time), I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
Asking you, what do you take me for?
Rose Marie (Yeah, Rose Marie), I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
Asking you, what do you take me for?
