Come let me hold you for awhile,
All you have to do is smile
And I'm yours again
I may not like some things you do
But they're all a part of you
And you're my best friend

(chorus)
I don't mind the cold
When I have a fire to warm me
I don't mind the rain
Cause it makes the flowers grow
I can take the bad times
When you wrap your love around me
I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose

Stay, we can work the whole thing out
That's what loves about
And I understand
You didn't mean the things you said
They're so easy to forget
When you take my hand

(repeat chorus)

If it was anybody else
I would be gone
But you're so beautiful to me
Oh that I keep on holding on

(repeat chorus)

Well, I don't mind the thorns, when you're the rose...
