Intro bass

Love is a rose but you better not pick it

 It only grows when it's on the vine.

A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it

 You 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, lads, we can go together

Let's take the best right now,

Take the best right now.

I wanna go to an old hoe-down

Long ago in a western town.

Pick me up cause my feet are draggin'

Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.

Love is a rose but you better not pick it

 It only grows when it's on the vine.

A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it

 You lose your love when you say the word "mine".

Mine, mine.

Love is a rose, love is a rose.

Love is a rose, love is a rose.
