Roses

[Intro]

See, today I'm havin' one of them days where

I just don't wanna be bothered

But it seems like you can't understand that

Because it's your way or no way

But check this out, it's my way today

And I'm really, really sick and tired

Of you steppin' into my little box

When I just don't wanna be bothered, okay?

So check this out

[Verse 1]

I've had my way

And I've had my share of ups and down

I've been in trouble

And I couldn't tell my ups from downs

I've been your baby

And I don't know why it don't seem like that no more

Welcome to this new definition of love

[Chorus]

It ain't all roses

Hey, flowers and posin'

Hey, said it ain't all candy

Hey, this love stuff is demanding

Hey, said it ain't all roses

Hey, flowers and posin'

Hey, said it ain't all candy

Hey, this love stuff is demanding

Hey, sometimes I need a hug

[Interlude]

See, you, you just, you just wanna

Really, really, really push all my buttons

'Cause you Mr. Right and I'm Mrs. Wrong

But right now today I feel like I'm

I'm the one gon' sing this song

I'ma be Mrs. Right today

It's my way or the highway

But with you, there's just no gettin' around that

I got to be bumpin' heads with you

What's up with that?

Listen, see

[Verse 2]

I love my man

And I know my place, I know my worth

And I just can't stand

To see myself as I hurt

It's been a long time

And I think that I can get a little more love from you

I know some of y'all go through it, too, 'cause

[Chorus]

It ain't all roses

Hey, flowers and posin'

Hey, said it ain't all candy

Hey, this love stuff is demanding

Hey, said it ain't all roses

Hey, flowers and posin'

Hey, said it ain't all candy

Hey, this love stuff is demanding

Sometimes I need a hug

[Interlude]

Sometimes I just wish you just put your arms around me

When I'm feelin' so, so, so very needy

But instead you just turn your back

And say, "Suck it up!"

Oh, you don't know how I'm feelin' right now

If you knew how I feel on the inside

You wouldn't say suck it up

Now what the ... 'cause

[Chorus]

It ain't all roses

Hey, flowers and posin'

Hey, said it ain't all candy

Hey, this love stuff is demanding

Hey, said it ain't all roses (Ain't all roses)

Hey, flowers and posin' (Flowers and posin')

Hey, said it ain't all candy

Hey, this love stuff is demanding

Sometimes I need a hug

[Outro]

It ain't all roses, you know?

Everybody ask me how good it is

It's great, love is great

But when you just a mess yourself

It ain't gon' be all roses

'Cause you just want your time

You wanna be selfish

You know, you don't want nobody messin' with you

You just wanna rip somebody head off

When they step to you with

"Oh you need some help. Oh, you need to figure it out"

You figure it out!

You figure it out!

You go figure it out!

You suck it up!

Hahaha
