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 will know you'll miss 
If you lose your love
When you said the word mine

I want to see what's never been seen
I want to live an age old dream
Come along boys, we can go together
Let's take the best right now
Take the best right now

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 will know you'll miss 
If you lose your love
When you said the word mine

Take the best right now

I want to go to an old hotel
Long ago in a western town
Pick me up as my feet are dragging
Give me a lift and I'll pay 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 will know you'll miss 
If you lose your love
When you said the word mine

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 will know you'll miss 
If you lose your love
When you said the word mine

Mine
Love is a rose (mine)
Love is a rose (mine)
Love is a rose (mine) 
Love is a rose

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 will know you'll miss 
If you lose your love
When you said the word mine

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 will know you'll miss 
If you lose your love
When you said the word mine
Love is a rose, love is a rose
Love is a rose, love is a rose
Love is a rose, love is a rose
Love is a rose
