Boy, you can take me down town
And we can get a bite to eat.
By morning we’ll be wrapped up in a sheet,
A sheet of selfish deceit
Cause you are my red rose in a mist of blue

So take me down town
Just take me a away
I don’t care if it’s a fancy play
Or a date movie cliche
Cause you are my red rose in a mist of blue

If you take me down town
I can act out Shakespeare romances,
Soft glances,
And playful dances
Cause you are my red rose in a mist of blue

My red rose, it’s hard for me love.
I know it’s cruel,
And untrue,
But I refuse
To see through
The truth,
With you.
But if I have to, I’ll say it.
I just want to be loved,
Just want to be loved.
I want to be loved.
Oh, to be loved,
Just simply loved.
