Yeneh Ababa (Rose)

Take me for the rose I am
Lay yourself in my bed again
Showered and covered
in petals of red
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
Blame me for the thorns my friend
Does the pain outweigh the blessing?
Showered and covered
in petals of red
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?

go slow
and I will cover you
go slow
but you left me high and wide
you left me high and wide.

Take me for the rose I am
Lay yourself in my bed again
Showered and covered
in petals of red
