Roses lyrics

See today I'm having one of them days where

I just don't want to be bothered,

but it seems like you can't understand that

Because it's your way or no way,

But check this out: it's my way today

And I'm really, really sick and tired

of you steppin' into my little box

When I just don't want to be bothered, okay?

So check this out.

[Verse 1:]

I've had my ways

And I've had my share of ups and downs.

I been in trouble

And I couldn't tell my ups from downs

I been your baby

And I don't know why you don't seem like that no more

Welcome to the new definition of love.

[Chorus:]

It ain't all roses hey,

Flowers imposing hey

Said it ain't all candy hey

This love stuff is demanding hey

Sometimes I need a hug

See you just really wanna push all my buttons

Cause you Mr. Right & I'm Mrs. Wrong,

But right now today, I'm going to be the one to sing this song

I'm going be Mrs. Right today

It's my way, or the highway

But with you there's just no getting around that

I got to be bumping heads with you

What's up with that?

Listen, see

[Verse 2:]

I love my man

And I know my place I know my worth

I just can't stand

To see myself as I hurt

It's been a long time

And I think that I can get a little more love from you

I know some of yall go through it too cause

[Chorus:]

It ain't all roses hey,

Flowers imposing hey

Said it ain't all candy hey

This love stuff is demanding hey

Sometimes I need a hug

Sometimes I just wish you would just put your arms around me

When I'm feeling so so so so very needy

But instead you just turn your back and say "suck it up"

Oh, you don't know how I'm feeling right now

If you knew how I feel on the inside you wouldn't say "suck it up"

Now what tha' -, cause

[Chorus:]

It ain't all roses, hey

Flowers imposing, hey

Said it ain't all candy, hey

This love stuff is demanding, hey

Sometimes I need a hug

Well, it aint' all roses you know,

Everybody ask me how good it is

It's great, is, love is great

When you just a mess yourself

It ain't gone be all roses.

Cause you just want your time

You wanna be selfish

You know, you don't want nobody messing with you

You just want to rip somebody's head off

When they try to step to you with some

"Oh! You need some help, oh you need to figure it out"

You figure it out! You figure it out!

You go figure It out

You suck it up!
