| [Intro] Listen, dear I realise that you've been hurt, deep Because I've been there But regardless to who, what, why, when and where We're all precious in his sight And a rose is still, and always will be, a rose Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm Dooby dooby doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm [Verse 1] There was a rose I knew, I done met her once or twice before She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure Then you came with your slick game and played with her youth Unashamed of the way you lied and played with the truth, hey hey She never knew what hit her, oh Steal her honey, then forget her Now the rose is scorned She wears a thorn, tryin' to forget about you [Chorus] 'Cause a rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can't leave you and then take you Make you and then break you Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am) [Verse 2] Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself When he tells you that he loves you, it's you, nobody else And now you're so tough, tryin' to wear tight clothes and things Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings Oh, oh, yeah When she gets nearer She's cryin', you can't hear her Now the rose is scorned She wears a thorn, tryin' to forget about you [Chorus] 'Cause a rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can't leave you and then take you Make you and then break you Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am) [Chorus] See, a rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can't leave you and then take you Make you and then break you Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am) [Bridge] Let your life be in the sunshine Not the darkness of your sorrow You may see you're lost today But new love will come tomorrow Don't believe that life is over Just because your man is gone Girl, love yourself enough to know That without him, your life goes on Without him, your life goes on And without him, your life goes on [Chorus] 'Cause a rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can't leave you and then take you Make you and then break you Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am) [Chorus] See, a rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can't leave you and then take you Make you and then break you Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am) |
