Roses

I know this lady that never had nothing
I know this lady that never felt loved
And at the age of thirty, she never received roses
Without thinking somebody wanted indecent exposure
She said all I know is chivalry died along time ago
And I prefer no guy giving me nothing for free, he might think I'm a hoe
Daddy taught her better, momma taught her letters
This girl she know told her that soon or later everybody gets down
Everybody comes round, yeah everybody gets down
Even sophisticated ladies them too, everybody get down
Act all prissy if you want, act all pissy if want
She say I'd rather buy my own roses before I give a nigga what he wants

Roses, roses are red and violets are blue
No I don't need em, I don't need ya
Roses are red, roses are red and violets are blue
No I don't need ya, I don't need ya

Just a day in the life, trying to be somebody's wife
Trying to be somebody's wrong, trying to be somebody's right
Trying to be somebody's reason to go to work and come home at night
But she rather go it alone, rather be out on her own
Miss independent lady, the lonely queen of the throne
She say tell me I need a man and I'll tell you you're wrong
See I love me some me and I love being free
And when I look in the mirror, I love who I see
I'm perfectly imperfect, when I give someone my heart
I wanna feel it's worth it, til then, I'm forever searching
And if that day never comes, I'm cool, cause I made my own rules for the life I chose
It's not you, It's me
Almost every girl loves roses and everything associated with it like proposing
Down on one knee, letting the band play, letting the people clap, it's just not for me

Roses, roses are red and violets are blue
No I don't need em, I don't need ya
Roses are red, roses are red and violets are blue
No I don't need ya, I don't need ya
Roses, roses are red and violets are blue
No I don't need em, I don't need ya
Roses are red, roses are red and violets are blue
No I don't need ya, I don't need ya
