Aretha Franklin - A rose is still a rose - album version (without intro) lyrics

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
