Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
I couldn't grow just a-livin' in the shadow
Where do you go when no one's followin' you?
You ran away, ran away, it was right on cue
Shall I go on and on and on and on and on and on again?
[Verse 2]
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, please pardon me
[Verse 3]
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
[Verse 4]
Dear Rosemary
Dear Rosemary
[Verse 5]
You got away, got away, got away with things
You got away, got away, got away with things
False starts, young hearts get shattered
Pick up the pieces comin' down around you
You ran away, ran away, it was right on cue
Can I go on and on and on and on and on and on again?
[Verse 6]
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, please pardon me
[Verse 7]
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
[Verse 8]
This was no ordinary life (This was no ordinary life)
This was no ordinary life (This was no ordinary life)
I'm here from now on, but once I'm gone, I'm gone
[Verse 9]
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
[Verse 10]
Dear Rosemary (Dear Rosemary)
You're a part of me (You're a part of me)
Dear Rosemary (Dear Rosemary)
Please pardon me (Please pardon me)
Dear Rosemary
[Verse 11]
You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
