Lyrics
Rosalita Lyrics by Craig Pinkney
He don't like to hear her singing
There's freedom in her song
And he's been running things so long
But the house is paid
And the kids are grown
A promise she made years ago
And it's no big ask you know
Hey Rosalita
You've got to walk in the sun
Your time is here
Sad señorita
Spread your wings
And feel a little fear
Time to walk away from his shadow
And find what's in your heart
Don't ever deny your right to the part
So give that wild and gypsy soul
A song to sing and then begin
'Cause I can tell you it's a beautiful thing
Hey Rosalita
They'll be no more singing to yourself
Go taste the freedom
Live your life
Who knows what's there
Hey Rosalita
You've got to walk in the sun
Your time is here
Sad señorita
Spread your wings
And have no fear
Hey Rosalita
They'll be no more singing to yourself
Go taste the freedom
Live your life
Who knows what's there
