Teena Marie, Gerald Levert - A Rose By Any Other Name lyrics
[Teena Marie, Gerald Levert - A Rose By Any Other Name lyrics]
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
Can you call a rose by any other name?
Just this morning I took a
Stroll through your garden
I watched the sunrise and it
Made me think of you the way you talk to the
Flowers and make them grow
And in the middle of all these flowers
There's one single stem red rose
It stood out from the rest
The fairest of them all
It made me think of what you asked me
Can you call a rose by any other name?
Lady your body moves like poetry
Like a diamond in the raw you shine for me
No one else can hold candle to you, girl
'Cause you're everything I need in my world
Lady
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
(So plain)
Can you call a rose by any other name
(Any other name)
Here inside your garden it's like
I feel I'm changed (I'm changed)
Can you call a rose by any other name?
(Mmm, take your time)
And now, I got a song for you, boy
Telling the world about the
Joy inside my garden in the shade, baby
'Cause my world was spinning 'round
Until you made my love come down
Never gonna let you go, no
I'm never gonna let you go
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
(All of the flowers seem so plain)
Can you call a rose by any other name?
(Any other name)
Here inside your garden it's like
I feel I'm changed (I've been changed)
Can you call a rose by any other name?
(Any other name)
(Mmm, baby) Anything you want
(Anything you want) Anything you need
(Ooh baby) I can make it better
(I know you can
For sure you can) Just for you
('Cause you're my lady)
Anything you want, baby (Anything you want)
I can make a change (Oh, yeah)
Can you call a rose by any other name?
(No, no, no, no, lady, play with me, yeah)
Come on and play with me
(Like the pretty rose you are)
Your flower (My flower)
Are you strong enough to be my man?
(Girl, I'll run across a desert sand)
That's my man, never gonna let you go
(Baby, don't you let me go)
I'm never gonna let you go
(Never, never let me go)
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
(Lately the flowers seem so plain
Seem so plain)
Can you call a rose by any other name?
(Can you call a rose by any other name
Baby?) here inside your garden it's like
I feel I'm changed (I've been changed)
Can you call a rose by any other name?
(Can you call a rose by, Any other name
Oh oh)
(Anything you want, baby) Anything you want
(Whatever you want)
(Anything you need) Anything you need
(Whatever you need) I can make it better
(I know you can) Just for you
(For sure you can) Just for you
Anything you want, baby (Anything you want)
I can make a change
Can you call a rose by any other name? (Say)
There's one thing, there's one thing
There's one thing I know
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
There's no other flower in
My heart that grows a rose is a rose
A rose is a rose oh, my flower
My rose, my flower growing, growing
Yes, you are
Growing, growing, growing, growing, growing
Yes, you are oh
Yes, you are oh, sing that song
Can you call a rose by any other name?
Just this morning I took a
Stroll through your garden
I watched the sunrise and it
Made me think of you the way you talk to the
Flowers and make them grow
And in the middle of all these flowers
There's one single stem red rose

The fairest of them all
