Mel Cooleys - Leave Me lyrics

A rose is just a rose is just a rose A simple lie that everybody knows But even filled with poetry and prose You could be a wolf in sheepish clothes There's an explanation I suppose How the love you came with comes and goes That even as your precious antler grows You're keeping one eye out for other does Sometimes I start out believing men Then right before my very eyes Somehow I'm on the receiving end Of some inconceivable lies And a lie is just a lie is just a lie And here in our cocoon they flutter by 'Cause even underneath the naked eye A gypsy moth is not a butterfly If you want to please me, please be gone You are not the favorite thing I've done You'd be so much better on your own If you're gonna leave me, leave me alone A rose is just a rose is just a rose Even when the perfect petals close All the crumpled color never shows Trampled underneath your careless toes Sometimes I start out by running 'round With manly men with manly poise But somehow I end up a dumping ground For uninspired little boys If you want to please me, please be gone You've got all these choices, slim and none Why not throw another girl a bone If you're gonna leave me, leave me alone Maybe for the final word I'll try to be more delicate I only want to help the next in line What's the final damage worth I figured, for the hell of it That you could be the only man on earth And I'd be celibate A rose is just a rose is just a rose But even when it's right beneath your nose There's a kind of odor that just flows When the rose is in it's dying throes You were just another one of those-acap
