(Difford/Tilbrook) 



Yes I cried the moment that her hand slapped my face  

A mouth full of sandwich went all over the place  

She left like a tornado the door of course slammed  

I stood in the kitchen a very confused man  

The thump thump of her foot steps went right up the stairs  

The cat ran for cover to the living room chairs  

But what was the problem what on earth could be wrong  

To deserve a slapped face it all seemed far too strong  

Rose I said, heaven knows what we've done  

Rose I said, water flows under the bridge  

Rose I said, heaven knows is this love  

Rose I said, curtains close back to read the script  



Up to the bedside where she lay in tears  

The drawers were left half open, her clothes laying near  

A suitcase tipped sideways at the end of the room  

I swallowed my sandwich and picked up her boots  

She turned just like an actress, a glare came my way  

I said what's the matter, what have I done today  

She spat out the name of the girl across the road  

I'll never forget the way she flared her nose  



Rose was the girl who some days I'd drive to work  

She worked in the office as an articled clerk  

Sometimes we had lunch in the pub along the street  

There was nothing between us, just good company  

I admit that I liked her but that's all it was  

I stood at the bedside in a state of shock  

She heard it different from a friend she met today  

Who says she saw us kissing down an alleyway  

I felt like two people a Jekyll and a Hyde  

I'd really made my bed to lay in this time  

I picked with my tongue at the bread stuck in my teeth  

There through the window, her house on the street  

I knew I was guilty, I told myself to lie  

It seemed to make no difference, on the bed she cried  

I left with my head bowed I felt the curtain drop  

Rose stood in the wings looking pretty in a frock
