(White/Cop/Nabb)
Verse 1
When you’re walking the walls around midnight hour
Searching your memory for clues
The shadows won’t clear don’t be afraid girl
What have you got to lose
Verse 2
When the fingers of fear press against your skull
Try’na force your thoughts into view
Push his hand away come talk with me girl
That’s all you gotta do
Chorus
So, speak to me Rosie, speak to me Rosie
Come and see me whenever you’re down
I know you’ve got to leave me sometime, but Rosie …….
Please not now, Please not now
Break
Verse 3
If the values you have become confused
With the values of strangers you meet
Don’t be mystified they don’t know it all girl
Pass them on by in the street
Verse 4
Wee voice that won’t stop inside you
Saying everything you do is wrong
You’re as good as the rest you’ll always be the best to me
Come on girl you gotta be strong
Chorus
So, speak to me Rosie, speak to me Rosie
Come and see me whenever you’re down
I know you’ve got to leave me sometime, but Rosie
Please not now, please not now
