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 lead 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 and love to love
 
 'cause 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
