Call Me Rose lyrics
My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
you wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
compared to last time I looked like I've hit the skids
living in the project with my two little kids
it's not what I would of chose
now you have to call me Rose
I was boss of bosses the last time around
I lived by cunning and ambition unbound
the suckers said they'd stand behind me right or wrong
as if they thought that hubrus was the mark of the stong
I was an arrogant man
but now I've got it in hand
it's not what I would have chose
now you have to call me Rose
call me Rose
call me Rose it's not what I would have chose
now you have to call me Rose
My name was Richard Nixon only now I am a girl
you wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
I'm back here learning what it is to be poor
to have no power but the strength to endure
I'll perform my penance well
maybe the memoir will sell it's not what I would of chose
now you have to call me Rose
