he who picks a rose
starr, edwin
got a little message for you
i want you to lend me your ear
a rose is a beautiful flower
to me the prettiest in the world
'cause she's like no other flower in the world
they're not perfect you see
so you got to take the bitter with the sweet
and remember fellas: he who picks a rose
must accept the thorns it bears
i'm talking about the good and the bad in a woman
a rose remains to be pretty
if you handle it with loving care
treat her right and her love she will truly share
but you've got to take the bitter with the sweet
happy times along with moments of despair
and remember fellas: he who picks a rose
must accept the thorns it bears
i'm talking 'bout the good and bad in a woman
got to tell you: a rose remains the same
if you handle it with care
treat her right and she'll stand besides you anywhere
i know sometimes they get carried away
say some things they don't mean to say
just remember fellas: he who picks a rose
must accept the thorns it bears
i wanna hear you say it one more time now
fellas remember when you choose your lover
you got to take the other
