Rosanne Cash Rosie Strike Back
He's a bruiser, he likes to tease you He's a loser, you think he needs you You always come back, you always come back for more He winds up tight, out all night Been drinkin' down he's looking for a fight He knocks you down; you don't even know what for [Chorus:] Rosie strike back Rosie strike back Hit the road and never look back You can't suffer your whole life living like that Get goin', don't pack Take the baby and the clothes on your back Keep walking Rosie Strike back You think he's changin', weeks pass He's angry, lies coiled like a snake in the grass The time will come when he takes it all out on you He throws punches, you bear with him Don't take it on you, Rosie, don't be his victim You can't carry the blame for what he's puttin' you through [Chorus] Don't take his world on your shoulder Don't let your heart grow much colder There's people out there who can help you If you let them help you Hey, Rosie Keep walking, Rosie [Chorus]
