Tender As A Rose

She was as tender as a rose 
She was as soft as snowy down 
And from her head down to her toes 
She was a dream that hung around 

She was as fresh as april 
Warm as may 
And all the fellas threw their hearts away 
But all of her lovin was Joe's she was as tender as a rose 

I guess that Joe was pretty sick 
His feelings went from cold to hot 
Her love to him was just a kick 
His ego needed her a lot 

She came back walking all alone
She wasn’t gone for very long
She came back with a heart of stone
We knew that everything had gone wrong

And when you ask her why she’s out each night
She’ll say, “Brother, once I tried to be right
once all of my loving was Joe’s
I was as tender as a rose.”
She was as tender as a rosed
