East coast rose, out on the scene
Looking out the window of a black limosine
Lady on the corner, she's a takin' it hard
Rose, she got it easy on the boulevard
Money is hard, so is the man
Makin' his money off of toys in japan
A little bit of love, it'll go a long way
You can always find somebody willing to pay for that

Wound up tight
Somewhere in the night
She is outta sight
M,m,m midnight bite, ow!

When you're down and out, only one thing you gotta do
Say whoa!
East coast rose, got her hands in your pocket
East coast rose

Ah, good god, all thru the night
Get down baby, it'll be allright
She's got the moves, she got it down
A real hippy cat, wrong side of town
It's allright baby, it's o.k.
You know I wouldn't have it any other way
Exiled here in the land of plenty
Roll it on over baby, drop and give me twenty, say

Wound up tight
Somewhere in the night
She is outta sight
M,m,m midnite bite, ow!

When you're down and out, only one thing you gotta do
Say whoa!
East coast rose, she'll do it every time
East coast rose
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa

Down around midnight
With the radio on
Some sad lover, went and did her wrong
Some say too shy
But when it come along
Wound up so tight
Yeah my heart is pounding like a drum
East coast rose, got her hands in your pocket
East coast rose
