i'll dip

doo doo doo

doo doo doo

doo doo doo

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

unashamed of the way you lied

played with the truth

hey hey

mmm

she never knew what hit her

yeah

steal her honey

then forget her

a rose

she wears a flower

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

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 yeah

when she faces the mirror

yeah

she's cryin'

you can't hear her

now the rose is still a rose

she wears a flower

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 you're 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 and love to love

'cause 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

darlin'

you hold the power
