|
There was a rose I knew
|
I met her once or twice before
|
She was a pretty sweet thing
|
Not the least bit insecure
|
Then you came with your stickey game
|
And played with her youth
|
Unashamed of the way your lie
|
Played with the truth, hey, hey
|
She never knew what hit her
|
Steal her honey, then forget her
|
Now the rose is scorned
|
And she wears her thorns
|
Trying to forget about you
|
|
Cuz 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
|
But darlin' you hold the power
|
|
Now believe it 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
|
Trying to wear tight clothes and thangs
|
Tossin' and flossin'
|
Trying to fill the void heartbreak brings
|
When she looks in the mirror
|
She's crying
|
And you can't hear her
|
Now the rose is scorned
|
She wears her thorns
|
Trying to forget about you
|
|
Cuz 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
|
|
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
|
|
Let your life be in the sunshine
|
Not the darkness of your sorrow
|
You may be alone today
|
But new love will come tomorrow
|
Don't believe that life is over
|
Just because your man is gone
|
Got to love yourself enough to know
|
That without him your life goes on
|
Without him your life goes on
|
Without him your life goes on
|
|
Cuz 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
|
|
You 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
|
But darlin' you hold the power
|
