Painted Tainted Rose

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
<Al with backups>
<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>
She's just a <painted, tainted rose>
