New Rose Lyrics

[Intro]
(Is she really going out with him?)
Hey!

[Verse 1]
I got a feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange, like a stormy sea

I don't know why, don't know why
These kinds of things got to be

[Chorus]
I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

[Verse 2]
See the sun, see the sunny skies
Don't get too close, it'll burn your eyes
Don't you run away that way
Come back another day

[Chorus]
I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town
[Bridge]
I never thought this could happen to me
I'm a strange washing machine
I don't deserve somebody this sane
I better get her, maybe-be too late
Hey

[Verse 1]
Ahh, I got a feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange, like a stormy sea

I don't know why, don't know why
I guess these things gotta be

[Chorus]
I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“New Rose” was originally released by British punk rock group The Damned in 1976. When recently asked about the cover, the band’s co-founder, Captain Sensible, said that he had never heard it.

“The truth is, I haven’t heard it, because I don’t listen to any music made after 1980.”
