"Second Hand Rose" lyrics
"Second Hand Rose"
Father has a business
Strictly second-hand
Everything from toothpicks
To a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment
Came from father's store
Even clothes I'm wearing
Someone wore before
It's no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I'm wearing second-hand hats
Second-hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second-hand Rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second-hand pearls
I'm wearing second-hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new
Even Jake, the plumber, he's the man I adore
He had the nerve to tell me he's been married before
Everyone knows that I'm just
Second-hand Rose
From Second Avenue
From Second Avenue
No

Now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone
So many things...
Paul Anka - "Lonely Boy" I'm just a lonely boy
Lonely and blue
I'm all alone
With nothin' to do
I've got everything
You could think of
But all I want
Is someone to love
Someone, yes, someone to love
Someone to kiss
Someone...
Don McLean - "Since I Don't Have You" I don't have plans and schemes, and I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires; I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything since I don't...
The Righteous Brothers - "The Great Pretender" Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I seem...
