Rosie Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

He has little red feet 

His stockin's in his shoes 

Lipstick and rouge on his face 

He has his hair piled high 

Has a red umbrella 

And carries his head in the sky 

And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys 

Don't you come on so willing 

Don't you come on so strong 

It can be so chillin' 

When you act so willin' 

And your warmth sets like the sun"

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

He has a little baby brother 

A big fat mama 

His sister asks for dimes on the street 

He doesn't feel it's a cover 

In fact he knows 

For sure he can please 

I said he's out there right now 

Running with the devil 

Struttin' down the alley ways 

With the nervous young hopeful 

At his heel 

And know his satisfaction won't drive him away 

And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys 

Don't you come on so willing 

Don't you come on so strong 

It can be so chillin' 

When you act so willin' 

And your warmth sets like the sun"

He's not looking for a friend 

He's not looking for a lover 

There in the crowded bar 

He has rings on his fingers 

He's there to tease 

You know he only wants to take things too far 

And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys 

Don't you come on so willing 

Don't you come on so strong 

It can be so chillin' 

When you act so willin' 

And your warmth sets like the sun"
