New Rose Lyrics

Is she really going out with him?

UNGH

I gotta feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea
I dont know why, I don't know why
I guess these things have gotta be

I've got a new rose, I've got her good
guess I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

see the sun, see the sun it shines
don't get to close or it'll burn your eyes
don't you run away that way
you can come back another day

I've got a new rose, I've got her good
guess I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town


I never thought this could happen to me
I feel so strange, oh why should it be?
I don't deserve somebody this great
I better go or it'll be too late

AOH

I gotta feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea
I dont know why, I don't know why
I guess these things have gotta be

I've got a new rose, I've got her good
guess I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

does anyone know where the 'Is she really going out with him?' line comes from? The Shangri-Las song 'Leader Of The Pack' comes to mind because it shares the same line. dose anyone agree?

I don't know if it comes from something before 'Leader of the Pack', kinda sounds like a movie line, but I know that the Damned put that in this song as a deliberate homage to the Shangri-Las.

Not Valid

@ziggy_who? Joe Jackson -- from the album "Look Sharp."

@ziggy_who? Ii thought Joe Jackson, with his song of the same phrase.

Apparently Dave Vanian used to be a Grave digger and save a grave with new roses on it. Suggested the idea to their team or writers and the rest as they say is history.
