Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm
dooby dooby 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
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
a rose
she wears a flower
tryinand' to forget about you
'cause a rose is still a rose
baby, girl, youand're still a flower
he canand't lead you and then take you
make you and then break you
darlinand', you hold the power
Now believe me when i tell you that iand've been hurt myself
when he tells you that he loves you and sees nobody else
and now youand're so tough tryinand' to wear tight clothes and things
tossinand' and flossinand', tryinand' to fill the void heartbreak brings
Oh...oh...yeah
when she faces the mirror, yeah
sheand's cryinand', you canand't hear her
now the rose is still a rose
she wears a flower, tryinand' to forget about you
'cause a rose is still a rose
baby, girl, youand're still a flower
he canand'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, youand're still a flower
he canand't lead you and then take you
make you and then break you
darlinand', 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 itand'll come tomorrow
Tough to be, but life ainand'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, youand're still a flower
he canand'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, youand're still a flower
he canand't lead you and then take you
make you and then break you
darlinand', you hold the power
