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 t**le 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
