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 and played
with the truth
hey, hey
Mmm
she never knew
what hit her
Steal her honey
then forget her
Now the rose
She wears a flower
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 nobody else
And now you're so tough
tryna wear tight clothes
and things
Tossin' and flossin'
tryna fill the void
heartbreak brings
Oh, oh, oh yeah
when she faces
the mirror yeah
she's cryin'
you can't hear her
Now the rose
is still a rose
she wears a flower
tryna 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
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 lost today
When you know
it'll come tomorrow
normally
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'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
Baby girl
you hold the power
