She was as tender as a rose She was as soft as snowy down And from her head down to her toes She was a dream that hung around She was as fresh as April Warm as may And all the fellas threw their hearts away But all of her lovin' was Joe?s she was as tender as a rose I guess that Joe was pretty sick His feelings went from cold to hot Her love to him was just a kick His ego needed her a lot And when he took her away she wore a smile Fate crossed its fingers for that lovely child Cause all of her lovin' was Joe's She was as tender as a rose She came back walking all alone She wasn't gone for very long She came back with a heart of stone We knew that everything had gone wrong And when you ask her why she's out each night She'll say, "Brother, once I tried to be right Once all of my loving was Joe's I was as tender as a rose." She was as tender as a rose
