Thorns Lyrics by CeeLo Green

Heart Blanche

2015

[Chorus 1]
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find

[Verse 1]
Of the bouquet I chose
The most beautiful rose
And with my love, I proposed
'Round and 'round it goes
And up from the ground it grows
And eventually dies so slow
That's why I need to know

[Chorus 1]
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find

[Verse 2]
I find it hard to face
The one rose I put in a vase
Not knowing you need more space
Reminds me that I can feel
Reminds me that I can still heal
'Cause I smell your fragrance still
And I always will

[Chorus 1]
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find

[Chorus 2]
Won't you give me a reason why?
You're making a grown man cry
I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find

[Bridge]
They say that real men are
Not supposed to cry
Next time give me fake roses
So they'll never die

[Chorus 1]
Why won't you give me a reason why?
Babe, I'm begging you please
Oh, I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find

[Chorus 2]
Won't you give me a reason why?
You're making a grown man cry
I suppose the redder the rose
The many more thorns, baby
The more thorns you find
