A Rose Is Still a Rose

Listen dear I realize that you've been hurt Deeply, because I've been there But regardless to who, what, why, when, and where We are all precious in His sight And a rose 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 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 slick game and played with her youth Ashamed of the way you lied, played with the truth, hey, hey Mmm, she never knew what hit her Steal her honey, then 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, 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 Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself When he tells you that he loves you and sees 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 faces the mirror, yeah She's cryin', 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, you're still a flower He can't lead 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 lead 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 see your all today When you know it'll come tomorrow Tough to be, but life ain't 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 Without him your life goes on 'Cause a rose is still a rose Baby, girl, you're still a flower He can't lead 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 lead you and then take you Make you and then break you
