Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it

It only grows when it's on the vine

A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it

You lose your love when you say the word mine



I wanna see what's never been seen

I wanna live that age-old dream

Come on boy, let's go together

Let's take the best, right now



Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it

It only grows when it's on the vine

A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it

Lose your love when you say the word mine



I want to go to an old hoe-down

It's on a road in a western town

Lift me up with my feet a-draggin'

Give me a lift and I'll head your wagon



Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it

It only grows when it's on the vine

A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it

Lose your love when you say the word mine

(Repeat this chorus 4 times more)



Love is a rose

(This line repeated 'til end)
