Lyrics:

She was a wild and lovely rose Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows But though my heart was true, it would never do Party life was what she chose Last night I saw my lovely rose All painted up in fancy clothes Her eyes had lost their spark, the years had left their mark She's just a painted, tainted rose But though my heart was true, it would never do Party life was what she chose Her eyes had lost their spark, the years had left their mark She's just a painted, tainted rose She's just a painted, tainted rose
