Squeeze - Rose I Said Lyrics
(difford/tilbrook)Yes I cried the moment that her hand slapped my faceA mouth full of sandwich went all over the placeShe left like a tornado the door of course slammedI stood in the kitchen a very confused manThe thump thump of her foot steps went right up the stairsThe cat ran for cover to the living room chairsBut what was the problem what on earth could be wrongTo deserve a slapped face it all seemed far too strongRose I said, heaven knows what weve doneRose I said, water flows under the bridgeRose I said, heaven knows is this loveRose I said, curtains close back to read the scriptUp to the bedside where she lay in tearsThe drawers were left half open, her clothes laying nearA suitcase tipped sideways at the end of the roomI swallowed my sandwich and picked up her bootsShe turned just like an actress, a glare came my wayI said whats the matter, what have I done todayShe spat out the name of the girl across the roadIll never forget the way she flared her noseRose was the girl who some days Id drive to workShe worked in the office as an articled clerkSometimes we had lunch in the pub along the streetThere was nothing between us, just good companyI admit that I liked her but thats all it wasI stood at the bedside in a state of shockShe heard it different from a friend she met todayWho says she saw us kissing down an alleywayI felt like two people a jekyll and a hydeId really made my bed to lay in this timeI picked with my tongue at the bread stuck in my teethThere through the window, her house on the streetI knew I was guilty, I told myself to lieIt seemed to make no difference, on the bed she criedI left with my head bowed I felt the curtain dropRose stood in the wings looking pretty in a frock
