Tender As A Rose (Album Version) - Abbey Lincoln[00:00:00]
She was as tender as a rose[00:00:00]
She was as soft as snowy down[00:00:08]
And from her head down to her toes[00:00:16]
She was a dream that hung around[00:00:23]
She was as fresh as april[00:00:29]
And it's warm as may[00:00:34]
And all the fellas threw their hearts away[00:00:40]
But all of her lovin was Joe's[00:00:47]
She was as tender as a rose[00:00:52]
I guess that Joe was pretty sick[00:00:59]
His feelings went from cold to hot[00:01:08]
Her love to him was just a kick[00:01:17]
His ego needed her a lot[00:01:25]
And when he took her away she wore a smile[00:01:32]
Fate crossed it's fingers for that lovely child[00:01:42]
Cause all of her lovin' was Joe's[00:01:48]
She was as tender as a rose[00:01:53]
She came back walking all alone[00:02:00]
She wasn't gone for very long[00:02:07]
She came back with a heart of stone[00:02:14]
We knew that everything had gone wrong[00:02:22]
And when you ask her why she's out each night[00:02:29]
She'll say "Brother once I tried to be right[00:02:37]
Once all of my loving was Joe's[00:02:45]
I was as tender as a rose "[00:02:50]
She was as tender as a rose[00:02:59]
That's the way the story goes[00:03:07]
And sometimes the rose was he[00:03:11]
