A Rose Is Still A Rose de Aretha Franklin

There was a rose i knew i met once
or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing
not the least a bit insecure
Then you came with your sticky game
and played with her youth
unashamed of the way you lied
and played with the truth

She never knew what hit her
Steal her honey than 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 your 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 my-self
when he tells you that he loves you it's you and no one else
and now so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and thangs
tossin' and flossin' tryin' to fill the void heart break 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
tryin' to forget about you

Cause A rose is still a rose
baby girl your still a flower
he can't leave you and then take you make you
and then break you babygirl you hold the power
(repeat)

Let your life beat in the sunshine
not the darkness of your sorrow
you may feel lost today
but new love will come tomorrow
don't believe that life is over
just because your man is gone
girl love your-self 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 babygirl your still a flower
he can't leave you and then take you make you and then
break you darlin' you hold the power
(repeat)
