Rosalyn
Rosalyn's new here
She just moved down
Her friends all warn her about that part of town
But she feels safe in the city streets
The darkness makes her feel at ease
But when she walks two blocks over to the suburbs
She's scared, 'cause everything's a different color, color
Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
All you hear is how we've come so far
Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart?
Rosalyn's armor
Is the clothes she wears
They protect her from our stares
A brand new jacket
Expensive purse
When she wears 'em, nothing hurts
'Cause our clean streets only make her feel filthy
And she doesn't know why she feels so guilty, guilty
Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
And all you hear is how we've come so far
Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart?
Yeah, it's all about your heart, oh
We're trying so hard
We're trying so hard
Rosalyn, don't give up
Don't give up on us
'Cause we all know it's so easy to fake it
When all we care about is being blameless
Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
And we don't even know who you are
Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart?
About your heart
She just moved down
Her friends all warn her about that part of town
But she feels safe in the city streets
The darkness makes her feel at ease
But when she walks two blocks over to the suburbs
She's scared, 'cause everything's a different color, color
Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
All you hear is how we've come so far
Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart?
Rosalyn's armor
Is the clothes she wears
They protect her from our stares
A brand new jacket
Expensive purse
When she wears 'em, nothing hurts
'Cause our clean streets only make her feel filthy
And she doesn't know why she feels so guilty, guilty
Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
And all you hear is how we've come so far
Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart?
Yeah, it's all about your heart, oh
We're trying so hard
We're trying so hard
Rosalyn, don't give up
Don't give up on us
'Cause we all know it's so easy to fake it
When all we care about is being blameless
Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
And we don't even know who you are
Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart?
About your heart
