Rosalie Lyrics by Kara Colvin

2024

[Intro]
Rosalie was blonde
Had a boyfriend named John
She was sweet and she was kind
But smart folks stayed on her good side
'Cause she was known from time to time
To play jump rope with the crossed line
[Verse 1]
One day she said "John, when I die
If you dare move on, I'll haunt you for life"
She thought her words would be
Enough to deter him
But he got with Marie
And now she was certain
[Pre-Chorus]
Her unfinished business was to follow through
She'd haunt his ass now that she had passed
And get his girlfriend too
She thought that he was being honest
When he said "Babe, I promise"
Maybe he forgot
But you know who did not
[Chorus]
Rosalie Rosalie
Every year on Halloween
Has it out for Marie
Rose put a bucket of cement
Atop the front door (the front door)
So when Marie walked through
She'd fall to the floor (fall to the floor)
But by some miracle the bucket missed her head (it missed her head)
Then she laughed and thanked her stars
That she wasn't dead
Rosalie Rosalie
Had to think of something else
For next Halloween
[Verse 2]
After a few years
Rosalie felt less cold
She said "huh, that's weird
I'm not closer to my goal"
But she didn't blink
Continued plans as they were
There was still one thing
Of which she was sure
[Pre-Chorus]
Her unfinished business was to follow through
She'd haunt his ass now that she had passed
And get his girlfriend too
She thought that he was being honest
When he said "Babe, I promise"
Maybe he forgot
But you know who did not
[Chorus]
Rosalie Rosalie
Every year on Halloween
Has it out for Marie
Rose dug a hole in the backyard
Covered it with a tarp (a tarp)
Hoped that she could count on
Marie not being smart (she's not so smart)
But by some miracle
She only stepped on the edge (stepped on the edge)
Then she laughed and thanked her stars
That she wasn't dead
Rosalie Rosalie
Had to think of something else
For next Halloween
[Bridge]
She had this gnawing feeling
Said "no, I don't like that girl
But if nothing else
She's resilient as hell
'Kay she's not the worst in the world"
Every time John made sure
Marie was okay
A little part of Rose's heart
Had been warmed by the day
But she convinced herself to stay on track
So she planned this year's attack
[Chorus]
Rosalie Rosalie
Every year on Halloween
Has it out for Marie
Rose stuck a twenty on a string
To lure her into traffic (traffic)
But just in time
John grabbed her by the back of her jacket (thank God for jackets)
This time it was Rose
Who threw back her head (threw back her head)
And she laughed and thanked her stars
That Marie wasn't dead
Rosalie Rosalie
Had a feeling she wouldn't be
Here next Halloween
[Outro]
Her unfinished business was to move on
Be happy that he's happy even though she's gone
She had to let it go to get to the end
And the end is where we are
For Rosalie, her love, and her new friend
