I Don't Mind The Thorns (When You're The Rose) Lyrics

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)
