[Intro]
N.C. (Spoken word over strings)
Listen, dear
I realize that you've been hurt, deep
Because I've been there
But regardless to who, what, why, when and where
We're all precious in his sight
And a rose is still, and always will be, a rose
G#m D#m7 C#m7 Dee-uh doo doo doo doo doo, mmm D#m7 G#m D#m7 C#m7 Dee-uh doo doo doo doo doo doo D#m7 G#m D#m7 C#m7 Doo doo doo doo doo doo mmm
[Verse 1]
G#m There was a rose I knew, I done met her once or twice before D#m7 She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure D#m7 Dm7 C#m7 Then you came with your slick game and played with her youth D#m7 Unashamed of the way you lied and played with the truth, hey hey B A G She never knew what hit her, oh B Steal her honey, then forget her B Now the rose is scorned A G B She wears a thorn, she tryin' to forget about you
[Chorus]
G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 'Cuz a rose is still a rose G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you're still a flower G#m D#m7 He can't leave you and then take you C#m7 D#m7 Make you and then break you G#m D#m7 Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Verse 2]
G#m Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself D#m7 Dm7 C#m7 When he tells you that he loves you, it's you, nobody else (no - body else)
And now you're so tough, tryin' to wear tight clothes and things
D#m7 Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings B Oh, oh, yeah, yeah A When she gets nearer G B She's cryin', you can't hear her B Now the rose is scorned A G B She wears a thorn, tryin' to forget about you
[Chorus]
G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 'Cuz a rose is still a rose G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you're still a flower G#m D#m7 He can't leave you and then take you C#m7 D#m7 Make you and then break you G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Chorus]
G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 See, a rose is still a rose G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you're still a flower G#m D#m7 C#m7 He can't leave you and then take you D#m7 Make you and then break you G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Bridge]
E D#m7 C#m7 Let your life be in the sunshine D#m7 Not the darkness of your sorrow E D#m7 C#m7 You may see you're lost today D#m7 But new love will come tomorrow G#m D#m7 C#m7 Don't believe that life is over D#m7 Just because your man is gone G#m D#m7 C#m7 Girl, love yourself enough to know D#m7 That without him, your life goes on G#m D#m7 C#m7 Without him, your life goes on G#m And without him, your life goes on
[Chorus]
G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 'Cuz a rose is still a rose G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you're still a flower G#m D#m7 C#m7 He can't leave you and then take you D#m7 Make you and then break you G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
[Outro]
G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 'Cuz a rose, yeah. Is still a rose G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you're still a flower G#m D#m7 C#m7 He can't leave you and then take you D#m7 Make you and then break you G#m D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 Baby girl, you hold the power (what I am is what I am)
