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
