Lyrics
English: You've never see her again / You've never seen her before / She was a sweet little... / She moved so fast, she took him by surprise / He can't remember her name, he can't forget those eyes / She might have been a one night stand... / Oh yeah, can't forget that night / She somebody, nobody knows / She's a Saigon rose / She likes take him on, she liked to take it slow...
Notes
Also on the 1992 album Chrome.
