Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna see what's never been seen
I wanna live that age-old dream
Come on boy let's go together
Let's take the best right now
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
I wanna go to an old hoedown
Long ago in a western town
Pick me up 'cause my feet are dragging
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Mine
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a roseUnknown streets, city lights, flash before my eyes,
Different faces every night, speaking words I've never heard.
Got no judge by myself, need no alibi.
No commitments so why not, take me to the spot.
Don't even know her name,
Won't ask or play that game,
We've both been here before,
I lead her to the door
I don't care for your number or your story,
It's a one night thing.
Ten to five in the morning in the back seat I won't tell you no lies.
What we have is for now, nothing more nothing less.
I'm tasting your lips as we undress.
I don't care for your number or your story,
It's a one night thing.
You left your doubts in the lobby and the dress you wore on the elevator floor.
All alone it's day, you broke the spell and went away.
But I'll never regret, our one night thing.
Not too late, 12 o' clock
When I hit the scene,
The club is packed the ladies hot
Players doing their routine
I didn't know I was being watched,
Turned around to see,
Burning eyes, target locked
As she walked right up to me
Girl say one night thing, let me hear you sing,
If you had a one night, one night thing
Guys say one night thing, let me hear you sing,
If you had a one night, one night thing.
