She ain't Rose, but she ain't bad
She ain't easy, but she can be had
So can I when she whispers in my ear
She ain't Rose, she ain't bad, and Rose ain't here
She ain't Rose, but she's alright
She's helped me through so many lonely nights
I always feel so glad to have her near
She ain't Rose, she ain't bad, and Rose ain't here
Lord only knows what happened to my Rose
She packed up all her bags and just rambled on down that ro-o-o-oad
She ain't Rose, but she's getting close
And we'll keep on getting closer, I suppose
She makes those bad old memories disappear
She ain't Rose, she ain't bad
She's the best gal I ever have had
She ain't Rose, she ain't bad, and Rose ain't here
