YOU MIGHT SAY
SHE STARTED OUT
WITHOUT
WHAT FOLKS 'ROUND HERE
CALL A FAIR SHAKE
A LITTLE GIRL
WITH NO SHOES
ON HER FEET
TANGLED HAIR
NOT A NICKEL
TO HER NAME
AND NOT A CARE
BUT NO MATTER WHAT
HER SMILE CAME
SHININ' THROUGH
'CAUSE A ROSE IS A ROSE
IS A ROSE
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
A LITTLE
SUNLIGHT
AND ROOM TO GROW WAS
ALL SHE NEEDED AND
SEEIN' HER FACE
IN TOWN WAS LIKE
SPRINGTIME COMIN'
AROUND WELL
I GUESS IT JUST GOES
TO SHOW
A ROSE IS A ROSE
IS A ROSE
TOMMY LEE
ALWAYS KNEW
WHAT HE WOULD DO
'CAUSE SHE MOVED HIM
DEEP DOWN IN HIS HEART
AND EVERYBODY
SMILED AT SUCH A PAIR
COULD THEY LAST
WITH TWO DIFFERENT
WORLDS
AND SIDES OF THE TRACKS
BUT NO MATTER WHAT
THEIR LOVE
CAME SHININ' THROUGH
'CAUSE A ROSE IS A ROSE
IS A ROSE
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
A LITTLE
SUNLIGHT AND ROOM
TO GROW WAS
ALL SHE NEEDED AND
SEEIN' HER FACE
IN TOWN WAS LIKE
SPRINGTIME COMIN'
AROUND WELL
I GUESS IT JUST GOES
TO SHOW
A ROSE IS A ROSE
IT ALWAYS FINDS
A WAY TO SHINE
BEAUTY IS A
STATE OF MIND
AND
SEEIN' HER FACE
IN TOWN WAS LIKE
SPRINGTIME COMIN'
AROUND WELL
I GUESS IT JUST GOES
TO SHOW
A ROSE IS A ROSE
IS A ROSE
