Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Hes a bruiser, he likes to tease you
Hes a loser, you think he needs you
You always come back, you always come back for more
He winds up tight, out all night
Been drinkin down hes looking for a fight
He knocks you down; you dont even know what for
Chorus
Rosie strike back, Rosie strike back
Hit the road and never look back
You cant suffer your whole life living like that
Get goin, dont pack
Take the baby and the clothes on your back
Keep walking Rosie, strike back
You think hes changin, weeks pass
Hes angry, lies coiled like a snake in the grass
The time will come when he takes it all out on you
He throws punches, you bear with him
Dont take it on you, Rosie, dont be his victim
You cant carry the blame for what hes puttin you through
Chorus
Dont take his world on your shoulder
Dont let your heart grow much colder
Theres people out there who can help you
If you let them help you, hey, Rosie
