It was rain for a year

drop for drop and tear for tear

on the girl who wouldn't stand out in a crowd.


She was born to the son

of a mini van salesman

on an early August morning under clouds.


Sweet romance, like her dreams

came in Spinster Magazine

her Romeo was on page 33


Chorus:

He buys her diamond rings

he's always listening

he tells her everything

all those things that a girl would ever want to hear

But that's not truly love Rosita dear.


On a plane

bags are packed

with The Bell Jar on her lap

and a half devoured Harlequin novella


You are much

much too young

to be leaving with no one

but Fabio in black jeans


Chorus 2:

He'll give her Mexico

tied up in a bow

and all the girls she knows green with envy

wishing they met one as cavalier

But that's not truly love Rosita dear.


Bridge:

Ooooo there was a time you gave

your heart and soul away

Now, all that you give is up

Don't lose the love you save.


Chorus 3:

He'll give her Mexico

tied up in a bow

and all the girls she knows green with envy

wishing they met one as cavalier

But that's not truly love Rosita..


Romantic dinner date

he'll never show up late

and all the girls you HATE are green with envy

wishing they met one as cavalier

But that's not truly love Rosita dear
