Mary J. Blige - Roses lyrics

rate me

See today

I'm havin' one of

Them days were

I just don't

Wanna 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 wanna be bothered, OK?

So check this out

I've had my way

And I've had my share

Of ups and down

I've been in trouble

And I couldn't tell

My ups from downs

I've been your baby

And I don't know why

It don't seem like

That no more

Welcome to

This new definition

Of love

It ain't all roses

Hey

Flowers and posin'

Hey

Said it ain't all candy

Hey

This love stuff

Is demanding

Hey

Said it ain't all roses

Hey

Flowers and posin'

Hey

Said it ain't all candy

Hey

This love stuff

Is demanding

Hey

Sometimes I need a hug

See, you, you just

You just wanna

Really, really, really push

All my buttons

'Cause you Mr. Right

And I'm Misses Wrong

But right now today

I feel like

I'm-I'm the one

Gon' sing this song

I'm a be Misses Right today

It's my way or the highway

But with you

It's just no... gettin' around that

I gotta be bumpin' heads

With you

What's up with that?

Listen, see

I love my man

And I know my place

I know my worth

And 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 ya'll

Go through it to 'cause

Sometimes I just wish

You just put

Your arms around me

When I'm feelin' so

Sp, so very needy

But instead you just turn your back

And say, "Suck it up! "

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

If you knew how I feel

On the inside

You wouldn't say suck it up

Now what the fuck?

Cause'

It ain't all roses, you know?

Everybody ask me how

Good it is

It's great

Love is great

But when you just

A mess yourself

It ain't gon' be all roses

'Cause you just want your time

You wanna be selfish

You know

You don't want nobody

Messin' with you

You just wanna rip

Somebody head off

When they step to you with

"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!
