Rose I Said Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

Yes I cried the moment that her hand slapped my face 

A mouth full of sandwich went all over the place 

She left like a tornado the door of course slammed 

I stood in the kitchen a very confused man 

The thump thump of her foot steps went right up the stairs 

The cat ran for cover to the living room chairs 

But what was the problem what on earth could be wrong 

To deserve a slapped face it all seemed far too strong 

Rose I said, heaven knows what we've done 

Rose I said, water flows under the bridge 

Rose I said, heaven knows is this love 

Rose I said, curtains close back to read the script 

Up to the bedside where she lay in tears 

The drawers were left half open, her clothes laying near 

A suitcase tipped sideways at the end of the room 

I swallowed my sandwich and picked up her boots 

She turned just like an actress, a glare came my way 

I said what's the matter, what have I done today 

She spat out the name of the girl across the road 

I'll never forget the way she flared her nose

Rose was the girl who some days I'd drive to work 

She worked in the office as an articled clerk 

Sometimes we had lunch in the pub along the street 

There was nothing between us, just good company 

I admit that I liked her but that's all it was 

I stood at the bedside in a state of shock 

She heard it different from a friend she met today 

Who says she saw us kissing down an alleyway 

I felt like two people a Jekyll and a Hyde 

I'd really made my bed to lay in this time 

I picked with my tongue at the bread stuck in my teeth 

There through the window, her house on the street 

I knew I was guilty, I told myself to lie 

It seemed to make no difference, on the bed she cried 

I left with my head bowed I felt the curtain drop 

Rose stood in the wings looking pretty in a frock
