Junior Brown Still Life With Rose Lyrics

Saw you with your uptown friend at a party down the hall
You were looking at a picture that was hanging on the
wall
The title of the painting was called Still Life with Rose
And I remembered how Rose rescued me from your heartaches
long ago

Still life with Rose is better than life with you
Whenever babe you made me a picture perfect fool
She's not a perfect picture and we sure ain't getting
richer
Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with
you

She's never tasted caviar or sipped on fine champagne Still life with Rose is better than any artist's brush
could paint
Sometimes she's hard to live with, Sometimes she makes me
blue
Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with
you

Still life with Rose is better than life with you
Whenever babe you made me a picture perfect fool
She's not a perfect picture and we sure ain't getting
richer
Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with
you
Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with
you
