There was a rose I knew I met once Or twice before She was a pretty sweet thing Not the least a bit insecure Then you came with your sticky game And played with her youth Unashamed of the way you lied And played with the truth She never knew what hit her Steal her honey than 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 your 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 my-self When he tells you that he loves you it's you and no one else And now so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and thangs Tossin' and flossin' tryin' to fill the void heart break brings When she looks in the mirror She's crying and 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 your still a flower He can't leave you and then take you make you And then break you babygirl you hold the power Let your life beat in the sunshine Not the darkness of your sorrow You may feel lost today But new love will come tomorrow Don't believe that life is over Just because your man is gone Girl love your-self 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 babygirl your still a flower He can't leave you and then take you make you and then Break you darlin' you hold the power
