He's a bruiser, he loves to tease you
He's a loser, you think he needs you
You always come back
You always come back for more
He winds up tight, out all night
Been drinking, now he's looking for a fight
He knocks you down
You don't even know what for
Rosie strike back, Rosie strike back
Hit the road and never look back
You can't suffer your whole life living like that
Get going, don't pack
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
Keep walking Rosie, strike back
You think he's changing, weeks pass
His anger lies coiled like a snake in the grass
The time will come
When he takes it all out on you (Keep walking Rosie)
He throws punches, you bear with him
Don't take it on you, Rosie, don't be his victim
You can't carry the blame
For what he's putting you through
Rosie strike back, Rosie strike back
Hit the road and never look back
You can't suffer your whole life living like that (Keep walking Rosie)
Get going, don't pack
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
Keep walking Rosie, strike back
Don't take his world on your shoulder
Don't let your heart grow much colder
There's people out there who can help you
If you let them help you, hey, Rosie
Rosie strike back, Rosie strike back
Hit the road and never look back
You can't suffer your whole life living like that (Keep walking Rosie)
Get going, don't pack
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
Keep walking Rosie
Keep walking Rosie
Keep walking Rosie, strike back
Hey, keep walking Rosie
