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
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

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 still 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
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
Darlin?, you hold the power

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
Cause if I make you happy I don’t need no more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you’ve done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
