Slappin' leather was devised
During a wild streak in her life
She had a cheap apartment up on royal street
She brought home just enough to keep her on her feet
She don't believe in anything
But if you ask her she'll say
There's plenty of things to believe in
Sweet Rosalyn sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved
She got a number off the bathroom wall
She was lookin for a good time so she made the call
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
Sneaky little priest tryin' to reach out to the swine
He said "Hello my name is Father Tim
Seems to me your zeal for this life is wearin a little thin"
Repeat Chorus
Well maybe we all could use a little grace
To know when to run or when to stay in one place
Repeat Chorus
