Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When love's in vain, love can be so strange
Ain't nothing I can take to kill this pain
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
[Verse 2]
She is a dream, but she's so hard to please
She moves around like an Egyptian queen
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
[Verse 3]
I'm so afraid of losin' you
But there's only so much that a man can do
For Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?
[Verse 4]
When I hit the road, the time goes slow
Thinkin' about the places I used to go
With Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?
[Verse 5]
They're tryin' to close the Tu y Yo
The Latin playboy and the sky room shows
Rosa Lee
Why don't you let them be?
[Verse 6]
I can't get used to losin' you
But there's only so much that a man can do
For Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?
[Verse 7]
People say that you were made for me
I knocked my head to think that I agree
But they'll never know the hurt it takes to be
Oh, Rosa Lee
[Verse 8]
When love's in vain, love can be so strange
But I never thought I'd wear the ball and chain
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
[Verse 9]
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
Why don't you set me free?
Why don't you, Rosa Lee? Yeah
[Verse 10]
Why don't you set me free?
Why don't you set me free?
You've got to set me free
You've got to, you've got to
You've got to set me free, baby, oh yeah
Woo!
