TIGER ROSE
(Bruce Springsteen)
SONNY BURGESS (ROUNDER CD3144, 1996)

Tiger Rose let me read some prose to you
Just as long as it shows my love any verse will do
Honey, I could make you happy if you'd only let me
Heaven knows, my my Tiger Rose

I went to work this morning on the local commuter train
Stopped back early and I peeked through the window pane
There was a man eating from my refrigerator
Dressed up in my clothes, why why Tiger Rose?

Called out your name and I kicked down the front door
I grabbed him by my robe and wrestled across the floor
I told you weren't any better than all those other so and so's
Said, I wasn't any different than a thousand other Joe Blows
Love disappears so quickly, when it goes it goes
Why why Tiger Rose? Bye bye Tiger Rose
So long Tiger, I'm out of here baby
