Where have you gone my Rosealia? Into the crowd he'll never find you If you walk real fast and you stay down low [Chorus:] So many times, so many chances This one could be your last You say, "No, no, no the fighting has left me tired" You say, "No, no, no" but the hurting goes on Put on your mask wearing your cape Put on your mask, my Rosealia Put on your mask wearing your cape Put on your mask, my Rosealia What has he done my senorita? His kind of love is going to kill you Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows? [Chorus] Ladies and gentlemen of America There'll no longer be hurt Jealousy can rip your heart out And jealousy can turn a hand into a fist [Chorus] My Rosealia
