Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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

Chorus
