A Rose Is Still A Rose Lyrics

Listen dear,
I realize that you've been hurt...Deeply
Because I have been there
and regardless to who, why,what, when, and where...
(what I am is what I am) we are precious in His sight (oooh).

And a rose, is still and always will be,
a rose.

De da da da duh duh daX5

There was a rose I knew
I met him once or twice before
She was a frisky thing and at least a bit insecure (insecure).

Then you came,
you sticked game,
you played with her
you (you)
are ashamed of the way that I made her go

She never knew what hit her
Still I'm trying to forget her(forget her forget her)
Like a rose, (rose) she was a thorn (she was a thorn)
trying to forget about you

(Chorus)
cuz a rose is still a rose
and baby girl, you're still a flower
he can leave you or take you
or make you and then break you(but i am what i am)
darling, you hold the power
(i am what i am)

now believe it when i tell you
that i been hurt myself (myself)
when he tells ya that he loves ya
is there nobody else?

And now he's so tough
trying to wear tight clothes and thangs
He falls and he falls
trying to feel for a heartbreak (ooh yeah)

when she gets a mirror
she's crying and you can hear her

Now a rose is still a (still a)
and she was a thorn( a thorn a thorn)

Chorus X2

Now he is a soldier
now the power is on your side
talk to me i've been there
without him your life goes on X3

Chorus X2

Lyrics are false. Here's the true 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 unashamed of the way you lies, 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 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

(WHAT I AM IS WHAT I AM)

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 strong 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

(WHAT I AM IS WHAT I AM)

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

(WHAT I AM IS WHAT I AM)

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 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 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

(WHAT I AM IS WHAT I AM)

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

thank you. the other lyrics were completely contradicting what the song is about. Its about how no one has the ability but yourself to make you or break you. Live for yourself, always.

yup. thanks. the entire song can be summarized in one line: baby girl, you hold the power." its one of her best
