A Rose Is Still a Rose

Lyrics

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
