A Rose Is Still A Rose - Aretha Franklin
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 stickey game
And played with her youth
Unashamed of the way your lie
Played with the truth, hey, hey
She never knew what hit her
Steal her honey, then forget her
Now the rose is scorned
And she wears her thorns
Trying to forget about you
Cuz 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
But darlin' you hold the power
Now believe it when I tell you
That I've been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you
It's you, nobody else
And now you're so tough
Trying to wear tight clothes and thangs
Tossin' and flossin'
Trying to fill the void heartbreak brings
When she looks in the mirror
She's crying
And you can't hear her
Now the rose is scorned
She wears her thorns
Trying to forget about you
Cuz 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
Baby girl you hold the power
See 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
Let your life be in the sunshine
Not the darkness of your sorrow
You may be alone today
But new love will come tomorrow
Don't believe that life is over
Just because your man is gone
Got to love yourself enough to know
That without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
Cuz 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
Baby girl you hold the power
You see 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
But darlin' you hold the power
