There wasn't blood or any thunder when the Romance ended On the eve of Graduation Day, you were Looking like the child that we still remember Taking everything the honest way So when you brought the news to your principle boy You say he wouldn't try to understand Wouldn't spare you a minute Or offer to give you a hand Give you a hand She don't need this anymore No roses, no chrome gonna keep her home She don't need this anymore No roses, no chrome only her alone To the jokers on the corner shoutin' "You'll Be Back" You only look up then you walk away To the sympathetic kneelers on their tragic carpets There's no reason good enough to say To all master minds pointing from their battle stations With their dirty hands over their hearts There's no use in explaining there's no hope in Wishing on stars Wishing on stars She don't need this anymore No roses, no chrome gonna keep her home She don't need this anymore No roses, no chrome only her alone She don't need this anymore No roses, no chrome gonna keep her home She don't need this anymore No roses, no chrome only her alone She don't need this anymore Nothing, Nothing. Gonna keep her home Keep her home She don't need this anymore
