{NOTE: Yep, you guessed it, the rap section has a different timing, although the second half is pretty smiliar.}

INTRO

My love is just like a red rose

It may seem beautiful at first

But beneath it all are thorns that only hurt

My love for you is like a rose

I may seem fragrant, pleasant and sweet

But the closer you get, the more you’ll want to leave

VERSE 1

Don’t look at me with a light heart

When you don’t know what I’m capable of

You’re still naive and pure

Boy what do you know of love? (Oh no no no~)

If you’re prepared to take my heart

You must embrace my joy and my pain

My petals may seem fair

But my thorns pierce just like a blade (Oh no no no~)

PRE CHORUS

You trust me way too much

You don’t know me well enough

So just run away, run away

I said oh oh oh~ (I said oh oh oh~)

Don’t fall for me too soon

You don’t know what my love can do

I said run away, just run away

You won’t last if you stay

CHORUS

My love is just like a red rose

It may seem beautiful at first

But beneath it all are thorns that only hurt

My love for you is like a rose

I may seem fragrant, pleasant and sweet

But the closer you get, the more you’ll want to leave

BRIDGE

{RAP} Boy if only you would understand

That winning my love won’t make you a man

Your confidence will make you feel like a fool

Only then will you learn that my love is cruel

Emotions lead to a dead end

Love is obsession's best friend

So run away, just run away

‘Cos you and I must come to an end

Every rose has it’s thorn

Every rose has it’s thorn

Every rose has it’s thorn

Mmmm~

PRE CHORUS

You trust me way too much

You don’t know me well enough

So just run away, run away

I said oh oh oh~ (I said oh oh oh~)

Don’t fall for me too soon

You don’t know what my love can do

I said run away, just run away

You won’t last if you stay

CHORUS

My love is just like a red rose

(Oh oh oh~)

It may seem beautiful at first

(Oh oh oh ooh~)

But beneath it all are thorns that only hurt

(Are thorns that only hurt, hurt)

My love for you is like a rose

I may seem fragrant, pleasant and sweet

(Fragrant, pleasant and sweet)

But the closer you get, the more you’ll want to leave

Don’t want to hurt you

{Now I normally wouldn't do songs so close after one another, but when I casually started 'Rose', I suddenley was on a roll, so I thought hey why not? Everything about this song is perfect: Lee Hi's unique vocals, the well-written lyrics, as well as the beautiful cinematography for the MV. Honestly, I dunno what Papa YG was on at the time, but dayuum whatever it was, it was definitely working! Simply an awesome song, in every aspect :D}
