Rock bands play hard from 9 to 5
But they still got a sensitive side
When they want our sympathy
They put down their flying feet.

Ballads show how much they care
Even (Rob Thomas?) is a big teddy bear.
These songs all go by different names
But their point's the same.

Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every dog has their bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song.

The ballad worked great for Skid Row
It made Malsensious Fox arose
With songs like Sister Christian
Rock frontmen prove there's a chunk within.

Joe Elliot's eyes get watery
While his band pours sugar on you and me
Even Ozzy needs a hug
And a little TLC

Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every dog has their bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song.

Now what can I do?
I sit waiting, Waiting for a girl like you.
