Alley Rose

I picked you up from the corner store

Your eyes were red and your lips were torn

So much to say that's subject-sore

So much you'd change since you were born

You wrapped your fingers around my neck

And pulled me into your desperate breath

The way you kissed me hot and fast

I knew it'd be the last

♪

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose?

Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

You told me, "I'm just so nervous, dear"

Well, how the hell do you think I feel?

I waited all year at your feet

Like maybe you'd love me

So

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose?

Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

And I don't even care

If it makes me sound insane

I ran my fingers through your hair

And I thanked God to touch the flame

'Cause I swore necks were made for bruisin'

I swore lips were made for lies

And I thought if you'd ever leave me

That I'd be the reason why

And I don't even care

If it's just a summer fling

If it's all experimental

And you go back to safer things

But I swore hands were made for fighting

I swore eyes were made to cry

But you're the first person that I've seen

Who's proven that might be a lie

So

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Don't leave me hangin'

Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose?

Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

Oh

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose?

Oh, where'd you go, go, go?

Don't leave me hangin' alone again

I thought that I was your only friend

Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose?

Oh, where'd you go, go, go?
