Slappin' leather devised During a wild streak in her life She has a cheap apartment Up on Royal Street She brought home just enough keep her on her feet She don't believe in anything But it you ask her, she'll say plenty of things to believe in
[Chorus] Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta in Sweet Rosalyn you gotta give in Sometimes you gotta be loved
She got a number off the bathroom wall She was for a good time So she made the call a strangely calm voice on the other line Sneaky little priest trying to reach out to the swine He said, \"Hello my name is Father Tim Seems me your zeal this life Has been wearing a little thin\"
Chorus
Well, maybe we all could a little grace To know when to run and when to Stay in one place
