    A ROSE IS STILL A ROSE
    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 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..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 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
