Mel Cooleys - Leave Me Lyrics
A rose is just a rose is just a roseA simple lie that everybody knowsBut even filled with poetry and proseYou could be a wolf in sheepish clothesThere's an explanation I supposeHow the love you came with comes and goesThat even as your precious antler growsYou're keeping one eye out for other doesSometimes I start out believing menThen right before my very eyesSomehow I'm on the receiving endOf some inconceivable liesAnd a lie is just a lie is just a lieAnd here in our cocoon they flutter by'Cause even underneath the ***** eyeA gypsy moth is not a butterflyIf you want to please me, please be goneYou are not the favorite thing I've doneYou'd be so much better on your ownIf you're gonna leave me, leave me aloneA rose is just a rose is just a roseEven when the perfect petals closeAll the crumpled color never showsTrampled underneath your careless toesSometimes I start out by running 'roundWith manly men with manly poiseBut somehow I end up a dumping groundFor uninspired little boysIf you want to please me, please be goneYou've got all these choices, slim and noneWhy not throw another girl a boneIf you're gonna leave me, leave me aloneMaybe for the final wordI'll try to be more delicateI only want to help the next in lineWhat's the final damage worthI figured, for the hell of itThat you could be the only man on earthAnd I'd be celibateA rose is just a rose is just a roseBut even when it's right beneath your noseThere's a kind of odor that just flowsWhen the rose is in it's dying throesYou were just another one of those-acap
