Lyric I Don t Mind The Thorns (when You re The Rose)

(Jan Buckingham/Linda Young)

Come, let me hold you for a while
All you have to do is smile
& I m yours again
I may not like some things you do
But they re all a part of you
& you re my best friend

CHORUS:
I don t mind the cold when I have a fire to warm me
I don t mind the rain cause it makes the flowers grow
I can take the bad times when you wrap your love around me
I don t mind the thorns when you re the rose

Stay, we can work the whole thing out
That s what love s about
& I understand
You didn t mean the things you said
They re so easy to forget
When you take my hand

(chorus)

If it was anybody else, I would be gone
But you re so beautiful to me, oh that I keep on holding on

(chorus, then repeat its last line)
