Tender as a Rose

She was as tender as a rose

She was as soft as snowy down

And from her head down to her toes

She was a dream that hung aroundShe was as fresh as April

Warm as may

And all the fellas threw their hearts away

But all of her lovin' was Joe?s she was as tender as a roseI guess that Joe was pretty sick

His feelings went from cold to hot

Her love to him was just a kick

His ego needed her a lotAnd when he took her away she wore a smile

Fate crossed its fingers for that lovely child

Cause all of her lovin' was Joe's

She was as tender as a roseShe came back walking all alone

She wasn't gone for very long

She came back with a heart of stone

We knew that everything had gone wrongAnd when you ask her why she's out each night

She'll say, "Brother, once I tried to be right

Once all of my loving was Joe's

I was as tender as a rose."

She was as tender as a rose
