Love is a rose but you better not pick it It only grows when it's on the vine A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it You lose your love when you say the word mine I want to see what's never been seen I want to live that age old dream Come on, lass, we can go together Let's take the best right now Take the best right now I wanna go to an old hoedown Long ago in a western town Pick me up but my feet are dragging Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon Love is a rose but you better not pick it It only grows when it's on the vine A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it You lose your love when you say the word mine, mine, mine Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose
