Aretha Franklin's official music video for 'A Rose Is Still A Rose'. Mmm, she never knew what hit her, yeah Steal her honey, then forget her A rose, she wears a flower Tryin' to forget about you. 'Cause a rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can't lead you and then take you Make you and then break you Darlin', you hold the power. A Rose Is Still a Rose.

A Rose is Still a Rose is the thirty-fourth studio album by American recording artist Aretha Franklin. It was released on March 10, 1998 by Arista Records. Conceived after a longer hiatus and a complete departure from her previous studio album What You See Is What You Sweat (1991), the album includes influences of 1990s hip hop as well as modern-day contemporary R&B and soul music.

A Rose Is Still a Rose" is a 1998 single written and produced by Lauryn Hill and recorded and released by singer Aretha Franklin off the album of the same name. Written by Hill for Franklin, the song focused on a motherly figure giving advice to a younger woman who keeps getting into bad relationships. Throughout the song, Franklin advises that in spite of everything and despite the woman's "scorned roses and thorn crowns" that the woman is "still a rose".

A rose is still a rose Baby girl, you're still a flower He can leave you and then take you Make you and then break you Darlin', you hold the power (what I am is what I am). Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself When he tells you that he loves you, it's you, nobody else And now you're so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and things Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings Oh, oh, yeah When shegets nearer She's cryin', you can't hear her. Now the rose is scorned She wears a thorn, t. .

A Rose Is Still a Rose. For much of the '90s, Aretha Franklin acted as if she couldn't even care about appealing to a younger audience. She rarely recorded, and when she did, it was usually slick adult contemporary material. That's what makes the fresh A Rose Is Still a Rose such a surprise.

Artist: Aretha Franklin. Featuring artist: Lauryn Hill. Album: A Rose Is Still a Rose (1993). There was a rose I knew, I done met her once or twice before. She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure. Then you came with your slick game and played with her youth. Unashamed of the way you lied and played with the truth, hey, hey. Mmm, she never knew what hit her. Steal her honey, then forget her. Now the rose scorned. Baby girl, you're still a flower
