Down in Rosa’s heart she sheds a tear
For someone so far away while I hold her near
Thought I give her sympathy
Her kisses are not meant for me
Down in Rosa’s heart he still appears
I’ll take a walk an talk her off my mind
I feel that soon she will be leaving me behind
I can never take his place
We just can’t go on this way
Down in Rosa’s heart she cries
She says she loves me
But the words don’t ring true
Her fantasy is breaking me in two
I pledge my love and I play my part
I’ll always be second place in Rosa’s heart
If I could only make him fade away
I know that she’d be truly mine some day
Oh will there always be
A shadow hangin' over me
Down in Rosa’s heart he stays
I’ll always be second place in Rosa’s heart
