If you walk real fast, and you stay down low...

Verse 2:
What has he done, my senorita?
His kind of love is gonna kill ya.
Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows?
So many times, so many chances, this one could be your last.
 
Bridge:
You say "No, no, no," the fighting has left you tired.
You say "No, no, no," but the fighting goes on.

Put on your mask, wearing your cape,
Put on your mask my Rosealia.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape,
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.

And jealousy can turn a hand into a fist.

G-C-C/B-Am-C/B-C-C/B
 
Bridge:
You say "No, no, no," the fighting has left you tired.
You say "No, no, no," but the fighting goes on.
 
Chorus:
Put on your mask, wearing your cape,
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape,
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
 
Put on your mask,
Wearing your cape,
Put on your mask,
Wearing your cape,
My Rosealia.
 
The weird ending is the same as the intro....only soft and light.
