Mr. Big - A Rose Alone lyrics

When she cried
Felt like her last tear for nothing
It's her life a toss of
The coin for everything
The girl began to see that you
Don't need just any man
And her pride is a kiss
Goodbye on graduation day

She always said she'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be
Anybody's second hand rose she's scared
But she dares to be a rose alone

Daddy says
You can't pay the rent on a fairy tale
It's her play she'd rather be free
Than be safe in jail
Make it or break it, you do what you gotta do
'Cause you can, oh yeah, taste the wine
Bittersweet


But the bite still it gets you high
She always said she'd be happier alone
She always said she won't
Be anybody's secondhand rose
She always said she'd be happier alone
She's scared
But she dares to be a rose alone
