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
âCause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, youâre still a flower
He canât leave you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlinâ, you hold the power
Now believe me when I tell you that Iâve been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you and sees nobody else
And now youâre so tough tryinâ to wear tight clothes and things
Tossinâ and flossinâ, tryinâ to fill the void heartbreak brings
Oh..oh..yeah
When she faces the mirror, yeah
Sheâs cryinâ, you canât hear her
Now the rose is scorned
She wears her thorns tryinâ to forget about you
âCause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, youâre still a flower
He canât 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, youâre still a flower
He canât lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlinâ, 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 itâll come tomorrow
Tough to be, but life ainât 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
âCause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, youâre still a flower
He canât 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, youâre still a flower
He canât lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
