This is the love song that Joe sings about his first crush, Rose Marie Pedals. Seven-year-old Joe sings the first verse as two children are frolicking together at the local playground and their puppy love begins.
For the second verse, twelve-year-old Joe sings to Rose Marie as he spies on her during her ballet class. This turns into a dream-like dance sequence until the ballet instructor finds Joe and kicks him out off the classroom.
The final verse takes place at the senior prom. Seventeen-year-old Joe is, once again, hiding. This time he is beneath the bleachers singing to Rose Marie as she dances with her date, the rich and handsome Buzz Nelson. The song ends with Joe pining for his love, her feet and the words of romantic hope, “someday they’ll be mine.”
