I´ve been waiting for you for hours babe,
And you still ain´t here,
Waiting, waiting, hanging on the phone,
It feels like a hundred years.

You always keep me hanging on,
Driving me crazy all the time,
But when it comes down to fooling around,
You´re the one that rings my chimes.

C´mon now honey, spread my money,
Take me around the world,
All this time, out of my mind,
A really nasty girl.

[1st Chorus:]
English rose, a crown of thorns,
I hope you´re staying around,
English rose, a long long time,
Before you wear me down.

The first time it was amazing,
But the next time´s gonna be hell,
I know your Momma thinks you´re a sweet young thing,
But she don´t know you too well,
Come on now, lover, don´t run for cover,
You´re the one I deserve,
All this time, way out of line,
A great nasty girl.

[2nd Chorus:]
English rose, a crown of thorns,
Don´t get me down,
English rose, a long long time,
You should be wearing the crown.

A long time we been lovers,
A long time doing that stuff,
A long time I been waiting here,
But I still ain´t had enough.

Come on now woman, hold on I´m coming,
I´m just a bundle of nerves,
Stay right there you ain´t going nowhere,
Be my nasty girl,
C´mon now baby, drive me crazy,
Take me round the world,
You´re so fine, making time,
A real nasty girl.

[3rd Chorus:]
English rose, a crown of thorns,
You better stick around,
English rose, a long long time,
You´ll never wear me down,
English rose, English rose, growing wild,
I like to keep you unwound,
English rose gonna be a long time,
Before you wear me down.
