Franklin, Aretha - A Rose Is Still A Rose Lyrics
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
There was a rose I knew
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
Played with the truth, hey hey
Mmm, she never knew what hit her, yeah
Steal her honey, then forget her
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 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 you're 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

Message Songs Are Rare.
Jennifer Better Do Her Justice.
Wow Lauryn.
I had this song on repeat for hours the day after a guy I was seeing told me he was not going to call me again. I remember I stayed in bed all week, and cried like a baby. I could relate to every word of his song.
Nakia Howe with out him your life goes on

Listening in 2020. Death to Fuckboys. Yes to Self Love and Value. Yes to adhering to red flags. Yes to choosing with wisdom.
RIP Queen Aretha! <3

Lauryn Hill created a perfect hit for Ms. Aretha Franklin!
Powerful song
Hi Monica
Laurin Hill wrote this Aretha wrote it too on the tablet of my heart.
Thank you Rosemarie RIP who sent this song to me after her son literally destroyed me and is living sweet. These lyrics are powerful and with that keeping my dignity and respect and boundaries. Because I am still a ROSE !
1998, this was epic, a message for all young ladies, to know your worth, written by genius Lauryn "L- Boogie " HiLL, masterfully sung by the still reigning Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin, blackgrounds by Faith Evans, and all acted about by Memphis own Elise Neal and brotha Q-Tip, who would have known Aretha would still be making hits in the late 90's after the 60's, 70's and 80's? God knew, that's who! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🎤🎤❤️❤️💐💐
Black Women You Are God Queen Of The Universe It's TimeYall Be Put Back On Yall Throne! #BlackIsBeautiful #BlakGirlMagic
19 November 2019 at 5:47 pm. This sound just pop back into my head. It’s been a wile I’ve lesson to this sound. CLASSIC 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Rip Aretha.... A rose is still a rose. ... The message is strong in this song!
Love this song love you Aretha
Not gonna the real Black singers are the likes of Aretha Franklin, James brown and damn right they can sing in any genres even hip hop or rnb. It’s sad to see black rapping artists today who only make music to promote sex, drugs and violence. Only a very few will do meaningful music. I’m British Pakistani but love Aretha Franklin so much and love the black people but I find many are not utilising their god gifted talents and they should go back to Africa and develop thier own nations because black peoples are very very intelligent people but many are unaware of their talents because they are still stuck in the American slave network.
Queen of Soul lives 4ever on the other side irreplaceable and Prince too!
Lol I can't kill you by having sex
To all my black beautiful women always remember that.
Every daughter needs to hear this
The meaning of this song is too deep fr so to every women who's has been hurt n made to be a subject of non affection u r def still a rose R.I.P queen y'all worth more then y'all Kno never let a man break you
I got chills singing this song🙌💖 a rose is still a 🌹 rose #2019 and going into 2020 like this!!! #ladies remember you hold the 🔋 power!💯💞💖
Aretha was and is and is a goddess she will live on and on and on and so will her songs
Who here 2019??
YES I AM...
This is Spanish Harlem I remember, pre gentrification ABC influx of Mexicans
“Is what I am”, what I am.. I like that! Ms. Hill killed it
Auntie Aretha Franklin R.I.P.

ARETHA A ROSE 🌷 WITH NO.THORNS.
WHEN I WAS THE AGE OF THE GIRL (IN THIS VIDEO.) I HAD NO ONE TO ENCOURAGE ME EITHER. ITS LIKE THE SAYING GOES:
(NO LIFE GUARD ON DUTY)- WHE YOU ARE DROWNING IN YOUR SORROWS!! THANK YOU ARETHA FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG, AND VIDEO. MUCH RESPECT TO YOUR MEMORY⚘
