Artist: Aretha Franklin Album: Knew You Were Waiting: The Best Of Aretha Franklin 1980-1998 (2012) Title: A Rose Is Still a Rose
Lyrics A Rose Is Still a Rose(Speaking:)
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.
(Singing:)
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
Don't believe your life is 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 |
