There was a rose i knew i meet once

or twice before

She was a pretty sweet thing

not the least a bit insecure

Then you came with your sticky game

and played with her youth

unashamed of the way you lied

and played with the truth



She never knew what hit her

Steal her honey than forget her

Now the rose is scorned

She wears her thorns tryin' to forget about you



Cause A rose is still a rose baby girl your still a flower

he can leave you and then take you make you and then break

you darlin' you hold the power



Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt my-self

when he tells you that he loves you it's you and nobody else

and now so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and thangs

tossin' and flossin' tryin' to fill the void heart break brings



When she looks in the miror

she crys but you can't hear her

now the rose is scorned

she wears her thorns

tryin' to forget about you



Cause A rose is still a rose

baby girl your still a flower

he can leave you and then take you make you

and then break you babygirl you hold the power

(repeat)



Let your life beat in the sunshine

not the darkness of your sorrow

you may feel lost today

but new lovewill come tomorrow

don't believe that life is over

just because your man is gone

girl love your-self enough to that

without him your life goes on

without him your life goes on

without him your life goes on



Cause a rose is still a rose babygirl your still a flower

he can leave you and then take you make you and then

break you darlin' you hold the power

(repeat)
