Bowie, David - Rosalyn Lyrics






Hey Rosalyn, tell me where you've been
Hey Rosalyn, tell me where you've been
All the night and all the day
Hide and seek's the game you play
Treat me as sure as sin

Oh Rosalyn, yeah Rosalyn

[VERSE]
Hey Rosalyn, you're the girl for me
Hey Rosalyn, you're the girl for me
When I'm holding you so tight
It's so hard to say goodnight
It's you that I love now can't you see?

[CHORUS]
Do you really love me, do you love me true
Do you really love me Rosalyn?
Yeah gotta know, yeah gotta know
Yeah gotta know Rosalyn

[VERSE]

[CHORUS]

Yeah gotta know, yeah gotta know
Yeah gotta know Rosalyn
Rosalyn
Yeah Rosalyn, Rosalyn, Rosalyn, Rosalyn, ooh-yeah, ah

Bowie, David Rosalyn Comments
  1. A.... W....

    Nice homage to the Pretty Things, but their original version is far better.

  2. J.... P....

    Can't believe I was 1 when this album came out! I'm no longer sad about Bowie's passing because the man is immortal in my eyes, and I'm not a starstruck type either. His music has helped me on many levels.

  3. s.... ....

    It's okay, but you can't really touch the Pretty Things version.

  4. N.... C....

    blown away yet again just love it

  5. M.... ....

    Great song!

  6. G.... R....

    Hard one to edit at the end. Thanks.

  7. M.... T....

    Rosalyn was written by jimmy Duncan and bill Farley of Regent Sound Studio in Denmark street,bill phoned up ian hunter Patterson for an audition with guy stevens of island records and the rest is history.

  8. c.... ....

    I got this LP before it hit the stores from a D.J. family friend. Most of these songs were great. "I Can't Explain" and "Sorrow" are perfection.
    "Rosalyn" is great and I love that name..... butttt I never met one.

  9. R.... D....

    I love this version and the original by the pretty things

  10. r.... w....

    As a Rosalyn, I fully appreciate this song. I can't find mini license plates, magnets, or keychains. I'll take a song by the almighty Bowie any day. 😋

  11. R.... H....

    Hi David

  12. C.... b....

    Why am I called, "the fucker" for?.

  13. R.... C....

    💙💙💙💙💙

  14. p.... H....

    Yes I really love you! Love PinUp's!

  15. M.... ....

    M.... ....

    MrCrispian The Pretty Things

  16. a.... ....

    Not bad, but the Pretties' original is better

  17. J.... C....

  19. c.... w....

    He sounds kind of like Elvis Costello in this song (I know that this came out before Elvis Costello was popular).

    c.... w....

    Good ear! Follow this song with 'Alison'!

  20. L.... G....

    Love the album cover, Twiggy is an icon of beauty and David is very sexy ~Two divine people, love you botj

  21. R.... P....

    I was named after this song, I have always loved my name :)

  22. S.... H....

    Bowie is a 15 on a scale of 1-10 you idiot. Why do you curse? Jealous of bowie or WTF?

  23. C.... S....

    One of my TOP Bowie songs! love love love this! :-)

    C.... S....

    it's a cover

  24. M.... ....

    The very first album I ever bought. That was 42 years ago and I was a 19 year old punk. Man I've been through some shit since then but I still love this stuff.

  25. J.... K....

    + 1 squillion stars.

  26. M.... ....

    Fucking done,dude!! :)

  27. A.... B....

    Dick Taylor of the Pretty Things born today 1942 ~ awesome cover by Bowie....but then again everything he touched was outta this world

  28. N.... L....

    Rip David Bowie.

  29. M.... H....

    Not a patch on the original by The Pretty Things

  30. A.... B....

    Still awesome - loved it then and still do!

  31. m.... ....

    so much fun : )

  32. M.... P....

    PROTO-PUNK SONG....

    M.... P....

    ma kakav jebeni rockabilly ....ovo je prava prethodnica punk-a

    M.... P....

    @Franjo Tahi Rockabilly pretty much lead to punk.

    M.... P....

    Da, jebeni punk!

    M.... P....

    RubenFromEarth no

    M.... P....

    And it was 6 or 7 years before when Bowie first heard it...

  33. E.... H....

    BO DIDDLEY beat worked perfectly here. And the singer does okay imitation of LITTLE RICHARD.

    E.... H....

    Imitiation of Phil May (Pretty Things) in fact.

    E.... H....

    I researched that band post the post and was impressed by other songs.

    WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES GONE impressed me on this album. That's almost an apt question today. Put on some red shoes and dance the blues is what I AM doing.

    E.... H....

    Yep the Pretty Things were a great band, from the days of the early Briritish r'n'b scene. And feeling you on your other comment. That was a Kinks number. Never actually listened to the Pin Ups album, but it's clearly a covers set of some of David's own favourites from previous years.

    E.... H....

    @Dave Pearson I thought PIN UPS was a joke until I played it a few times in my college's radio studios. I was then AM station manager for WYBC. This song still stuns with its brevity and beat.

    E.... H....

    Bo Diddley stole the beat from church.
    I love Little Richard and this is nothing like his stuff at all.

  34. P.... A....

    Why is David Bowie possibly crushing on me? XD

  35. d.... 5....

    bowie rocked philly once or twice. rock.rock.rock.woof woof.

  36. d.... g....

    go go go

  37. L.... ....

    My daughterr feels the same Ros Berry..She is a Rosalyn....and to my shame inspired by this song :( but :D It means Pretty Rose in Old English..so that's cool :D

  38. R.... B....

    Omg it feels so weird hearing my name every second

    R.... B....

    Oh Ros, tell me where you been baby...come home.

    R.... B....

    rosalyn gille same here 😂

    R.... B....

    Ros Berry darn I'm jealous

    R.... B....

    I once met Rosalyn Sumners, and once at a mall someone was calling my name but it wasn't for me and I was completely weirded it out!!

    R.... B....

    Omg!! You are my people!! Lol

  39. M.... E....

    Juice 4ever

  40. k.... r....

    One of My Bowie Favorites!!    soooooooooo good!!  thx!

  41. j.... k....

    Bowie wore her out. She's done...

    j.... k....

    johnny k LOL

  42. J.... G....

    It is a tribute to HE`s favorits. NOT cover`s... >^_^<

  43. F.... ....

    I think it's odd that Bowie did a cover album so early in his career, but expect the unexpected with the thin, white duke.

    F.... ....

    Frankincensed He was in disputes with his publishing company and wanted to keep recording music, so he did a covers album.

  44. L.... t....

    I LOVE IT!!! ^_^

  45. C.... C....

    My favorite album so there !

  46. p.... ....

    Mind you I still like it!

  47. p.... ....

    Always loved this album. The remastered version is PALE compared to the original. Its too clean, the fuzz is gone. Also not quite the same without Here comes the night tearing into the last note. RIP Mick.

  48. R.... J....

    That's me my mum and dad named me after that song. Love it!! xx

  49. d.... ....

    "RIP Viv"??!! Viv's still with us, isn't he??? Brian "Yetti" Pendleton however, is most unfortunately very much gone, and in a sad way... :(

  50. S.... H....

    Fucking great fucker.

  51. T.... T....

    Pretty Things!!!!!!! RIP Viv.
