How personal is "Rosie" to Richie do you think?

Diane Warren wrote "I dont want to miss a thing" which Aerosmith helped turn into a hit..

I sorta noticed Rosie had a BJ feel to it when I first heard it. It sounds very much like something that could have been on New Jersey. The chorus is energetic and catchy and the music in the background during the "Rosie I went with you for that rose tatoo etc." part sounds a bit like Born to my baby.

It's true, but after I'd heard the BJ version of the song I wish I hadn't. EEEk.

i dont think its too personal to him, he forgot the lyrics of the second verse once
