Leave Me Lyrics by Mel Cooleys

Live(?) in Seattle

0

A rose is just a rose is just a rose
A simple lie that everybody knows
But even filled with poetry and prose
You could be a wolf in sheepish clothes
There's an explanation I suppose
How the love you came with comes and goes
That even as your precious antler grows
You're keeping one eye out for other does
Sometimes I start out believing men
Then right before my very eyes
Somehow I'm on the receiving end
Of some inconceivable lies
And a lie is just a lie is just a lie
And here in our cocoon they flutter by
'Cause even underneath the naked eye
A gypsy moth is not a butterfly
If you want to please me, please be gone
You are not the favorite thing I've done
You'd be so much better on your own
If you're gonna leave me, leave me alone
A rose is just a rose is just a rose
Even when the perfect petals close
All the crumpled color never shows
Trampled underneath your careless toes
Sometimes I start out by running 'round
With manly men with manly poise
But somehow I end up a dumping ground
For uninspired little boys
If you want to please me, please be gone
You've got all these choices, slim and none
Why not throw another girl a bone
If you're gonna leave me, leave me alone
Maybe for the final word
I'll try to be more delicate
I only want to help the next in line
What's the final damage worth
I figured, for the hell of it
That you could be the only man on earth
And I'd be celibate
A rose is just a rose is just a rose
But even when it's right beneath your nose
There's a kind of odor that just flows
When the rose is in it's dying throes
You were just another one of those-acap
