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 sick game
And played with her
You
Unashamed of the
Way you lied
And played
With the truth
Hey hey mm
She never knew
What hit her
Steal her honey
Then forget her
Now the rose
Is strong
And she wears a thorn
Tryin' to forget
About you
See a rose
Is still a rose
Baby girl
You're still a flower
He can leave you
And then take you
Make you and then
Break you darling
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
It's you
And nobody else
And now you're
So tough tryin' to
Wear tight clothes
And things
Tossing and flossing
Tryin' to feel the boy
Heart break brings
Hey yeah
When she looks
In the mirror
She's cryin' and
You can hear her
Now the rose
Is scorned
But she wears a thorn
Trying to forget
About you
'Cause a rose
Is still a rose
Baby girl
You're still a flower
He can 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 leave you
And then take you
Make you
And then break you
Darling
You hold the power
Let your life be
In the sunshine
Not the darkness
Of your sorrow
You may feel you've
Lost today
But new love will
Come tomorrow
Don't believe
Your life is 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 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
