Tender As a Rose
She was as tender as a rose
She was as soft as snowy down
And from her head down to her toes
She was a dream that hung around
She was as fresh as april
Warm as may
And all the fellas threw their hearts away
But all of her lovin was joe's she was as tender as a rose
I guess that joe was pretty sick
His feelings went from cold to hot
Her love to him was just a kick
His ego needed her a lot
And when he took her away she wore a smile
Fate crossed it's fingers for that lovely child
Cause all of her lovin' was joe's
She was as tender as a rose
She came back walking all alone
She wasn't gone for very long
She came back with a heart of stone
We knew that everything had gone wrong
And when you ask her why she's out each night
She'll say, "brother, once i tried to be right
Once all of my loving was joe's
I was as tender as a rose."
She was as tender as a rose
Tan tierna como una rosa
Ella era tan tierna como una rosa
Ella era tan suave como plumas de nieve
Y de la cabeza a los pies
Ella era un sueño que perduraba
Ella era tan fresca como abril
Cálida como mayo
Y todos los chicos entregaban sus corazones
Pero todo su amor era de Joe, ella era tan tierna como una rosa
Supongo que Joe estaba bastante enfermo
Sus sentimientos pasaban de frío a caliente
Su amor por él era solo un capricho
Su ego la necesitaba mucho
Y cuando se la llevó, ella sonreía
El destino cruzaba los dedos por esa encantadora niña
Porque todo su amor era de Joe
Ella era tan tierna como una rosa
Ella regresó caminando completamente sola
No se había ido por mucho tiempo
Regresó con un corazón de piedra
Sabíamos que todo había salido mal
Y cuando le preguntas por qué sale cada noche
Ella dirá: 'Hermano, una vez intenté hacer lo correcto'
Una vez todo mi amor era de Joe
Yo era tan tierna como una rosa
Ella era tan tierna como una rosa
