Rosanna never meant that much to me
She could say anything and I'd agree
But she never really did that much, she never said too much, but she said those words to me
She went through her life so unobserved
And I don't think I've got the nerve
I haven't got the guts to be the kind of guy that she says she wants me to be
Oh Rosanna won't you give me one more chance
I won't turn away when you come and ask for another dance
Cause she never really did that much, she never said too much but she said those words to me
I told her secrets that I wished that she would keep
She told me horror stories just to get me to sleep
But I never believed her so she told me what happens to us after we go
And the worst part is that she always ended up alone
You fooled them all with your disguise
But I see reality when I look into your green velvet eyes
And though my mistakes seem far too real, please don't believe what the past reveals to you
Oh Rosanna won't you give me one more chance
I won't turn away when you come and ask for another dance
And she never really did that much, she never said too much but she said those words to me
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna
Won't you come back on home Rosanna
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna
Won't you come back on home Rosanna
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna
Won't you come back on home Rosanna
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Go
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna
Won't you come back on home Rosanna
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna
Won't you come back on home Rosanna
Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna
Won't you come back on home Rosanna
Come back home if you feel alright, 'cause I need you here tonight
Oh Rosanna won't you give me one more chance
I won't turn away when you come and ask for another dance
Cause she never really did that much, she never said too much but she said those words to me
Rosanna never meant that much to me
