He Who Picks a Rose (Version 1) The Temptations

[Intro: The Temptations]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
A rose is a beautiful flower (Beautiful flower)
To me the prettiest in the world (Prettiest in the world)
Hey, but that goes double, double for a girl
'Cause she's like no other flower in the world (In the world)
Remember, they're not perfect, you see
But you've got to take the bitter with the sweet

[Chorus: David Ruffin & The Temptations]
Becausе he who picks a rose must accept thе thorns it bears
(The thorns it bears)
I'd like to tell the story

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
A rose remains to be pretty (Pick a, pick a rose)
If you handles it with care, hey (Pick a, pick a rose)
That goes double for a girl
Treat her right and her love she'll truly share
But you've got to take the bitter with the sweet
Happy times along with moments of despair

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Because he who picks a rose must accept the thorns it bears
(The thorns it bears)
