Teena Marie - The Rose N' Thorn lyrics

Still my heart the dawn is filled with tears I never thought that I would find you here Wait for me, be merciful, be kind Embrace the joy in pain when love is blind And if you cry just know that I would never say goodbye If you speak of me just by chance Or hear me calling through your next romance I am the thorn that wants to be the closest to the rose you are Kind of blue, be virtuous at best to know the pain of too much tenderness And if you cry just know that I could never tell a lie If you hear my voice just by chance Or feel me touch you in a lover's dance I am the thorn that wants to be the closest to the rose you are I am the thorn that wants to be the closest to the rose you are And if you cry just know that I would never say goodbye If you speak of me just by chance Or hear me calling through your next romance I am the thorn that wants to be the closest to the rose you are I am the thorn that has to be the closest to the rose you are It's always darkest just before the dawn
