Lauryn Hill - A Rose is Still a Rose lyrics

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, tryin' to forget about you Cause....... [Chorus:] 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 gone She wears a flower, tryin' to forget about you [Chorus] 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 that life is 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 [Chorus 2x]
