I've been waiting for you for hours babe
and you still ain't here
waitin' waitin' hangin' on the phone
it feels like a hundred years

you always keep me hangin'on
drivin' me crazy all the time
and when it comes down the pullin' around
you're the one the reach me times

come on now honey, spend my money
take me around the world
all this time out of my mind
a really nasty girl

English Rose, a crown of thorns
I hope you're staying around
English Rose
a long, long time before you wear me down

the first time we met was amazing
for the next time is gonna be hell
I know your mama thinks you're sweet young thing
But she doesn't know you too well

come on now, lover
don't run for cover
you're the one I deserve
all this time way out the line
a great nasty girl

English Rose, a crown of thorns
don't you let me down
English Rose a long long time
you should be wearing the crown

a long time we've been lovers
a long time doing that stuff
a long time I've been waiting here
but I still ain't had enough

come on now women, hold on I'm coming
I'm just a bundle of nerves
stay right there, you ain't going nowhere
be my nasty girl
come on now baby, drive me crazy
take me around the world
you're so fine, just making time
a real nasty girl

English Rose, a crown of thorns
you better stick around
English Rose, a long, long time
you'll never wear me down
English Rose (English Rose) growing wild
I like to keep you unwound
(English Rose) gonna be a long, long time
before you wear me down
