Aretha Franklin - A Rose Is Still a Rose

[Spoken:]

Listen dear,

I realize that you been hurt,

Deeply, because I have 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.

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 done 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 lied and played with the truth, hey, hey

Mmm, she never knew what hit her

Steal her honey, then forget her

Now the rose scorned

She wears a thorn, she's tryin' to forget about you

'Cause...

[Chorus:]

A rose is still a rose

Baby girl, you're still a flower

He can leave 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, it's you, 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 gets nearer

She's cryin' and you can't hear her

Now the rose is scorned

She wears a thorn, tryin' to forget about you

'Cause...

[Chorus] (×2)

Let your life be in the sunshine

Not the darkness of your sorrow

You may see you're lost today

But new love will 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...

[Chorus] (×2)
