What would I ever do with a rose?

How would it ever get me high?

What would I ever do with a rose?

How would it ever get me by?

How would it ever get the guy?

What would I ever do with a rose?

Sitting here underneath the bridge

Making love at the break of dawn

Sitting here in the afternoon

Making love underneath the awning

I'll then tell you in the night

Tell you this with a kiss

Never does the dream come true

Without the night

Never does the dream come true

Without the nightmare

What would I ever do with a rose?

How would it ever get me high?

What would I ever do with a rose?

How would it ever get me by?

How would it ever get the guy?

What would I ever do?

What would I ever do with you?

Never does the dream come true

Without the nightmare
