Mel Cooleys Leave Me Lyrics

Leave Me Lyrics

A rose is just a rose is just a rose

A simple lie that everybody knows

But even filled with poetry and prose

You could be a wolf in sheepish
clothes

There's an explanation I suppose

How the love you came with
comes and goes

That even as your precious antler grows

You're
keeping one eye out for other does



Sometimes I start out believing
men

Then right before my very eyes

Somehow I'm on the receiving
end

Of some inconceivable lies



And a lie is just a lie is
just a lie

And here in our cocoon they flutter by

'Cause even
underneath the naked eye

A gypsy moth is not a butterfly



If
you want to please me, please be gone

You are not the favorite thing I've
done

You'd be so much better on your own

If you're gonna leave me,
leave me alone



A rose is just a rose is just a rose

Even
when the perfect petals close

All the crumpled color never shows

Trampled underneath your careless toes



Sometimes I start out by
running 'round

With manly men with manly poise

But somehow I end up
a dumping ground

For uninspired little boys



If you want to
please me, please be gone

You've got all these choices, slim and none

Why not throw another girl a bone

If you're gonna leave me, leave me
alone



Maybe for the final word

I'll try to be more
delicate

I only want to help the next in line

What's the final
damage worth

I figured, for the hell of it

That you could be the
only man on earth

And I'd be celibate



A rose is just a rose
is just a rose

But even when it's right beneath your nose

There's a
kind of odor that just flows

When the rose is in it's dying throes

You were just another one of those-acap
