Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it
You lose your love when you say the word mine

I wanna see what's never been seen
I wanna live that age-old dream
Come on boy, let's go together
Let's take the best, right now

Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine

I want to go to an old hoe-down
It's on a road in a western town
Lift me up with my feet a-draggin'
Give me a lift and I'll head your wagon

Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A hand full of thorns and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine
(Repeat this chorus 4 times more)

Love is a rose
(This line repeated 'til end)
