"The Rose" lyrics

He got me flowers but they weren't roses
Wonder what he's thinking, wonder what it means
Chocolate and red wine would've been better
But I guess it's okay, I shouldn't mind

Oh, there's just something about him
Freckles and red hair
Even got a mind of his own
Oh, he is just like the weather
Springtime forever
Damn, I wish he bought me a rose

I'm just a girl, you know?
I'm just a girl, you know?

I got these vinyls, I hope she likes 'em
Her taste in music is better than mine
She listens to Mozart, the songs are in minor
It got me crying like I'm a child

Oh, there's just something about him
Freckles and red hair
Even got a mind of his own
Oh, he is just like the weather
Springtime forever
Damn, I wish he bought me a rose

I'm just a girl, you know?
I'm just a girl, you know?

I wrote her a letter but I ain't no poet
She's way too clever to read my rhymes
I read Bukowski but he likes comics
Comics have heroes, heroes are cool

Oh, there's just something about him
Freckles and red hair
Even got a mind of his own
Oh, he is just like the weather
Springtime forever
Damn, I wish he bought me a rose

I'm just a girl, you know?
I'm just a girl, you know?
He's just a man, who knows?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just a man, I know
Oh-oh
I wish he bought me a rose
I'm just a girl, you know?
