[Chorus:]
Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doin
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doin'

[Verse 1:]
I left my evil ways back in my burnin' days
Nights were spent just to hold you
You left your lovin' charms in someone else's arms
What do you think you been doin', you're my ruin
Rosanne
The way a lovebird flies a foolish heart just dies
Trapped in your situation
There's nothin' I can say, I guess it's been that way
Since the dawn of creation

[Chorus]
Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doing'
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doing'
You're my ruin, Rosanne

[Outro:]
Could have prevented all this, if we had taken the time
Could have prevented all this, if we had made up our minds
Rosanne
