The Rose

Aw girl, did you dance with the devil

Get ripped apart

Where’s your heart

Ah, I see it beating in the gutter

Well girl, what can I say

Life's a b***h, and then you die

But you don’t want to hear that

No,no, not in your beautiful world

Not in pin up poster world

Aw girl

You want to go down to the love hospital

They’ll put you back together

But guess what

That beating heart

In the gutter

Maybe wants to last past puberty

So hey, I’ve been round the block

I’ll give you ten seconds of my time

Best ten seconds of advice you’ll ever hear

That rose growing in the garden there

Is that not the most beautiful thing in the world

Now, not only is that rose beautiful

It’s also very smart

It knows some jackass is going to try and take liberties

So it surrounds itself with thorns.

Do the same

Be that rose.

The defences go up early... It's a cruel world.
We lose our innocence sooner than we should, in the name of survival...

Much good advice for the younger generation. Not just for girls nowadays, todays youth know more than older people. Valentine

One thing i will say. It will be a massive change for them both. Not many make it past the first year. But on the positive side. Kids keep you young.
