Lyrics:

The house was filling up like it was New Year
With friends of mine I've never met before
And in among the singing and drinking
I saw you standing silent by the door
And in your eyes I see your heart is breaking
Yes, in your eyes I'm still your secret boy
For we were young and we were only playing
We thought we were immune inside our joy, huh!

Rosanne
Rosanne

You married into money and to trouble
Trying to escape this world we knew
Where everything's decided by your station
You wanted to believe it wasn't true
And then I heard the whispers and the stories
Oh, how your public analyzed your pain
It seems to me we all derive some pleasure
From watching someone rise then fall again, huh!

Rosanne
Rosanne
Huh!

I heard about the others that you went through
You cannot keep a secret in this town
Where everyone is friendly to your face but
Don't challenge the laws that they lay down
A woman on her own can be a victim
A woman on her own can always cry
It looks to me that you could use a friend now
The night has certain needs to satisfy

Rosanne
Rosanne
Rosanne
Rosanne
Rosanne
Is crying
