Ooh where – is she woman she’s only here for the sun
It’s now – you’ll discover she’s only here for the fun
And who – will move over, sweet talker choosin’ her side
And it’s then – it’s all over, she’s just along for the ride

She’s a Roller she’s just a Roller, bet she’ll roll her life away
One town is just like another, one man will just never do
Don’t turn around, when she calls out your name
She’ll only break you in two
She’s a Roller, She’s just a Roller, rolling time come today
