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 YOUTH
UNASHAMED OF
THE WAY YOU LIED
AND PLAYED WITH
THE TRUTH HEY HEY MM
SHE NEVER KNEW
WHAT HIT HER EH
STEAL HER HONEY
THEN FORGET HER
NOW THE ROSE
IS SCORNED
AND SHE WEARS
THE 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
IT'S YOU
AND 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 OH YES
WHEN SHE LOOKS
IN THE MIRROR
SHE'S CRYIN'
YOU CAN'T HEAR HER
NOW THE ROSE
IS SCORNED
SHE WEARS
HER THORNS
TRYIN' TO FORGET
ABOUT YOU GIRL
'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
BABY GIRL
YOU HOLD THE POWER
SEE 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
LET YOUR LIFE
BE IN THE SUNSHINE
NOT THE DARKNESS
OF YOUR SORROW
YOU MAY FEEL
YOU'RE LOST TODAY
BUT NEW LOVE WILL
COME TOMORROW
DON'T BELIEVE THAT
LIFE IS OVER
JUST BECAUSE
YOUR MAN IS GONE
GOTTA 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
OH
HE CAN'T LEAVE YOU
AND THEN TAKE YOU
MAKE YOU AND
THEN BREAK YOU
BABY GIRL
YOU HOLD THE POWER
YEAH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH OH
