Tanita Tikaram - Rose on Wood текст песни

Why did you fall for an innocent?

An innocent like me?

Why did you fall for an innocent?

An innocent like me?

I know nothing will ever be

cos like, we dont give nothing away

(chorus)

Call what you [crib] boy

But its, its not what you need

I know its, its not what you need

From a girl like me

Oh, and I wish that you could come in boy

And make me smile like rose on wood

It would be nice to take

A fortune from your flesh

And make it good

Make it really good

Why do the sonnets stake my heart?

Im sworn to kiss and tell

Im sworn to take the rose

Outta your hands and mould

My lies around you

Not being fickle

Or breaking this song

I made the sweetest thing you ever see

But I want to shake the world

And leave them standing

Not a queue for frivolity

(chorus)

Wasted my time

Like [oil/all] rich sons

Like [oil/all] rich sons should do

Like [oil/all] rich sons

Oh, the hours are all gone

The hours are all gone

Theres nothing wrong with a picture palace

A thousand knives have been drawn in

But Im a dreamer with iron intent

And for pure cosmetics I could not care

(chorus)
