Rosie

Rosie, Rosie
Rosie was an only child
Everybody said the first word
Out of her mouth was wild
Trouble called her up just like a friend
Said, girl I'll pick you up, quarter to ten

She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She just needs to be understood
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good
She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She'd do the right thing if she could
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good

Rosie, Rosie
Pushed her luck too many times
She's standin' in the courtroom
Thinkin' up her best line
She says, now judge what can you do
When trouble just keeps callin' you?

She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She just needs to be understood
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good
She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She'd do the right thing if she could
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good

The judge looked into her eyes
His face it never changed
Then he stood up and said
I must proclaim

She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She just needs to be understood
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good
She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She'd do the right thing if she could
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good

Rosie, Rosie
Trouble always on her trail
Just her two sweet eyes to keep her
Two feet out of jail
All the dark clouds seem to know her name
It's a good thing she likes the rain

She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She just needs to be understood
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good
She don't wanna be a bad girl Rosie
She'd do the right thing if she could
She don't wanna be bad
She just wanna be good
