VERSE 1
I was looking for my English rose
When i got a black rose.
I was looking for my English rose
To take away my woes!

VERSE 2
I was looking for my English rose
When i got a black rose.
She was no good to me at all, oh!
All i got was a bloody nose!
Oh! looking for my English rose.

CHORUS 1
English rose, English rose,
I'm looking for my English rose.
English rose, English rose,
I'm looking for my English rose.

VERSE 3 AS 1

CHORUS 2 AS 1

MIDDLE 8
My English rose would be pretty.
She would be just right for me.
I wouldn't want her in the perfect class,
Perfect enough for me  - sitting at the back.
I can smell her perfume like the rose in my garden.
She's getting closer to me, i can see my English rose.

CHORUS 3
English rose, English rose,
I'm looking for my English rose.
English rose, English rose,
At last i've found my English rose.

OUTRO:
My English rose, my English rose,
My English rose, my English rose.
At last i've found my, at last i've found my,
My English rose, my English rose,
My English rose, my English rose.
I can smell her perfume like the rose in my garden.
