Rosa Lee (Stay Off The Bell) Lyrics by Andre Williams

The Complete Motown Singles | Vol. 1: 1959-1961

[Chorus]
Rosa Lee, stay off of that bell
Honey, when you're kissing
You know that papa can't stand that
Midnight reminiscin'
You leave home about 6 O'clock
For the picture show
You should be in there with your shoes and your hair
About a half past four
[Verse 1]
Well I know that a-summer is comin'
And the days are getting long
When you're leanin' against that bell
Rosa Lee, you're wrong
[Verse 2]
Well you know that your big big brother
Don't man, give it cover
'Cause I know a young rock and roller
Has got to have a lover
[Verse 3]
If you must, Rosa Lee
Take another ride around the crop
Call me up on the telephone
So I can hide the clock
[Chorus]
Rosa Lee, stay off of that bell
Honey, when you're kissing
You know that papa don't like that
Midnight reminiscin'
You leave home about 6 O'clock
For the picture show
You should be in there with your shoes and your hair
About a half past four
[Refrain]
If you must, Rosa Lee
Take another ride around the crop
Call me up on the telephone
So I can hide the clock
[Chorus]
Rosa Lee, stay off of that bell
Honey, when you're kissing
You know that papa don't like that
Midnight reminiscin'
You leave home about 6 O'clock
For the picture show
You should be in there with your shoes and your hair
About a half past four
[Verse 4]
Rosa Lee, stay off of that bell
When you're kissin'
You know that papa don't like that reminiscin'
If you make it at the three, Rosa Lee
You know to take it out on me
Rosa Lee, stay off of that bell
When you're kissin'
