Rose Marie, I didn't know what love was at the time
I didn't want to stay and tow the line
I don't like it, but I guess I'm out of style
I don't know it, but I guess that I'm on trial
Won't you let me stay, Rose Marie has gone away
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean it at all

Rose Marie I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
I'm asking you what do you take me for?

Rose Marie, I think I know what love is, now's the time
Don't like it but I guess that I'm on trial
I don't like it , but I guess I'm out of style
Won't you let me stay? Rose Maire is coming home today
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't hurt you at all

Where you gonna run before you crawl?
You'll be growing old before you know
Nothing I could do could make your day
It's easier to take off, run away
Won't you let me stay?
Lock the door and throw the key away
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't hurt you at all
