A Rose Is Still A Rose Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

(Speaking:) 

Listen dear, 

I realize that you've been hurt, 

Deeply, because I've been there, 

But regardless to who, what, why, when, and where, 

We are all precious in his sight. 

And a rose still and always will be a rose. 

(Singing:) 

Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm 

Dooby dooby doo doo doo doo 

Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm 

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 

Now the rose is scorned 

She wears her thorns tryin' to forget about you 

'Cause 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 scorned 

She wears her thorns 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 

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 

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 

Tough to be, but life ain't 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 

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
