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

Mmmm, my darling, my darling,
Oooh, darling, o-o-o-oh.

Now I know that you've been staying at home, baby,
yeah, all alone,
and I've been working day and night, baby
(just working day and night)
I know that you've been tired of hearing the same old song,
(Baby, I don't really blame ya),
for feeling all that you feel.

It seems we've got a problem,
I sweart I'll compromize,
I've been working really hard just to make it right,
so I never gonna leave you again,
I'll never leave you again.

Ooooh,
It's been a long long time since I've seen your smile,
since I felt your touch,
Oooh, I miss you so much,
I've been gone for so long,
And I know I were wrong,
So I never gonna leave you again,
I'll never gonna leave you again.

And some times I get caught up in things that I do,
And boy, I never pay attention at time,
(It passes so fast)
Although I call you on the phone,
Honey I get a thing,
Only one thing about reality,
I feel like a fool, and I do.

You could be spending time with somebody else,
But instead you're still at home,
All alone night and day,
So I'm never gonna leave you again,
I'll never leave you again.

Ooo-hooo,
sha-bi-du-day, wee-woo-bi-du-du-woop-du-du-doo
Wa-di-du-du-du-dub-di-du-du oh oh
Zip-zipn-zip-du-du-zipn-zipn-dip-yeah yeah
Wab-web-wab-web-wa-waa-waaaa

I'll promise that I'll never leave ya,
Hoping and now I'm trying,
And if you ever have a problem call my name and I'll be there,
All I want is you to let me back into your arms,
And I'm staying by your side,
Give me a chance.

It seems we've got a problem,
I sweart I'll compromize,
I've been working day and night just to make it right, baby
Never gonna leave you again,
I'll never leave you again., wo auuh,
Well, I never gonna leave you again,
I'll never leave you again, oooh ooh, yeah, eeih yah,
I'm gonna be right by your side, oh baby, yeah
I ain't going nowhere, hey yeah,
Dip-di-du-du-du-du-du....

. . .



Something is wrong, baby
Is the feelin' gone, baby
Maybe I need to refresh your mind
Think about the love we shared
Think back to the time we cared
Maybe you can find a reason to be here

Oh...I'm the one who loved you, mmm
I'm the one who made it right
I'm the one who was there for you
On those cold and lonely nights

I'm the one who held you
When the world came down on you
And I'm the one who's in love with you
And whose love never stops

In case you forgot
I give love (Ooh) and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell ‘cause I care

In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops (Oh...oh...)

Where did mine go (Where did it go) I never shoulda really let you know
You're about to make a big mistake
Now where do you think you find a love at all like mine
Maybe all you're gonna find is heartache

Whoa...I'm the one who loved you
And I'm the one who made it right
I'm the one who was there for you
On those cold, cold and lonely nights

I'm the one who held you
When the world came down on you
And I am the one who was there for you
And whose love never stops

In case you forgot
I give love (Ooh) and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell ‘cause I care

In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops

Where will you go to find someone to love you like I do
You can play anything, baby, ‘cause you know that it's true
Sometimes a love like mine comes just once in your life
So you better, better take it, baby, and hold on tight

In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when (You know it's true) you fell ‘cause I care (I was there for you)

In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops

In case you forgot
In case you forgot
Remember me, hey, remember me, baby, baby
In case you forgot
I was there (I was there) when you fell ‘cause I care (Oh...)

In case you forgot
I left you (I left you) satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot


. . .



Come on now
Oh...oh...ho...ho...oh...
Here we, here we, here we go again
Well, boy

I caught you slippin' {Mmm}, ooh, you must be trippin'
‘Cause now I know, oh, yes I know, mmm
About your other girls in your past, in your black book
A very long time ago, oh...ho...ho...

Well, you must think I'm crazy
You must think I'm blind
If you want to keep me, boy
Then stop wastin' my time

Here we go again
It's the same old song
You're thinkin' you're gon' do me
Like the other ones before, baby

Here we go again
It's the same old song
Ooh, straighten up your act
Or else I'm walking out the door

All this time {All this time} I thought that I {I}
Was the one who had the problem, oh...yeah...mmm...
I gave you everything, hopin' things might change
But still you ain't around, so, whoa...oh...oh...

You must think I'm foolish (Oh, yeah)
You must think I'm blind (Do you think I'm blind)
If you want (If you want) my precious love (My precious love)
Then stop telling me lies (Stop wastin', wastin' my time)

Here we go again (Oh...)
It's the same old song (Same old song)
You're thinking you're gon' do me
Like the other ones before, baby

Here we go again
It's the same old song
Ooh, straighten up your act
Or else I'm walkin' out the door

You know I've tried to give you the world
Oh, and everything you need, oh...oh...
Oh, I tried (I...) so many times (So many times)
You still mistreated me, oh, here we go

Here we go again (Here we, here we, here we, here we)
It's the same old song (Here we, here we, here we go again)
You're thinking you're gon' do me (Here we, here we, here we, here we go)
Like the other ones before, baby (Here we go again, well, well, well)

Here we go again (Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ba-baby)
It's the same old song
Ooh, straighten up your act
Or else I'm walking out the door

Here we go again (If you go away)
It's the same old song (Won't be long)
You're thinking you're gon' do me (Don't take all my money, baby, I'll be gone)
Like the other ones before, baby

Here we go again (Oh, ho, baby)
It's the same old song (Same old rhythm)
Ooh, straighten up your act (Oh, yes, oh, baby)
Or else I'm walking out the door (Oh, yeah)

Here we go again
It's the same old song
You're thinking you're gon' do me
Like the other ones before, baby

Here we go again
It's the same old song (Same old rhythm)
Ooh, straighten up your act
Or else I'm walking out the door

Oh, ho...yeah
Hey, well
Yeah, baby, oh...oh...


. . .


Yes, it's love, so much love
You are the one

I can't admit that I was wrong
Took you for granted now I'm all alone
It was so silly all the things we say
And all the words of pain runnin' through my head

If I had the chance I'd let you know
I'll tell you that I never want you to go
These tears I cry won't let me rest
Till you return

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts

It hurts, oh baby, you know you hurt me

I can't believe that you would leave me
I always thought you would stand by me
The thought of you in another arms
Is very slowly tearing me apart

What can I do to make you see?
Everything you need is here with me
I really miss the things that we used to build
And don't you miss the way I used to love you?

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts

You used to kiss me
You used to hold me
You used to love me
You used to touch me

All night long you made everything alright
But now you're gone and I'm all alone
Things have stayed the same
And all I'm really tryin' to say, I'm the one to blame

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts
