Bullet for My Valentine are a Welsh heavy metal band from Bridgend, formed in 1998. The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Jason James (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Michael Thomas (drums). They were formed under the name Jeff Killed John and started their music career by covering songs by Metallica and Nirvana. Jeff Killed John recorded six songs which were not released; two of these tracks were reworked later in their career as Bullet for My Valentine. Financial difficulties dictated the name change, which was followed by a change in music direction. In 2002, the band secured a five-album deal with Sony BMG. The band has stated that their music is influenced by classic heavy metal acts such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Slayer. The band is part of the Cardiff music scene.
Bullet for My Valentine's debut album, The Poison, was released on 3 October 2005 in the United Kingdom and on 14 February 2006 in the United States to coincide with Valentine's Day hence their band name. The album entered the Billboard 200 in the US at number 128. It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The band made appearances at the Download Festival and Kerrang! XXV, and undertook a US tour with Rob Zombie. Bullet for My Valentine's second studio album, Scream Aim Fire, was released on 29 January 2008 and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. The band's third album, Fever, was released on 26 April 2010 and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200.

Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
Oh! She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
She ain't exactly small
Forty two, Thirty nine, Fifty six
You could say she got it all
Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you got to give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone
*Chorus*
Your a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie (Repeat 2)
And your a whole lotta woman
Honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one who turn
Only one who can turn me on
All through the night time
And right around the clock
Ooh, too my suprise
Rosie never stops.
She was a whole lotta woman
*Chorus*
Ooh, you're a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie (Repeat 1)
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman (Repeat 1)
