A
Rose is
is a beautiful flower
To me the prettiest in the world
An d that goes double for a girl
For she's like no oth
er flower in the world
Remember that they're not perfect,
you see
But you've got to take the
bitter with the sweet
And remember that he
who picks a rose
Now, baby, he who picks a rose
Must accept the thorns it bears
Oh, yeah, the thorns it bears
A rose remains to be pretty
If you handle it with care
And that goes double for a girl
Treat her right and her love
she'll truly share
But you've got to take the
bitter with the sweet
Happy times alone with
moments of despair
And remember that he
who picks a rose
Now baby, he who picks a rose
Rose must accept that the corn's in bed
Oh, yeah, the corn's in bed
Mm -hmm
Now,
rose may may the same
If you treat it with love and care
And that goes double for a girl
Treat her right and she'll
stand beside you anywhere
I know sometimes they get carried away
Say some things they don't mean to say
But remember that he
who picks a rose
Now baby, he who picks a rose
Must accept the thorned advance
Oh, yeah, the thorned advance
Oh, she may be fine on the outside
Never short of kind on
the inside
Remember that the he
who picks up wrong
Must accept the thorned advance
Yeah, yeah, I said a he who picks up wrong
