Why won't you give me a reason why? Babe, I'm begging you please Oh, I suppose the redder the rose The many more thorns, baby The more thorns you find Of the bouquet I chose The most beautiful rose And with my love I proposed And round and round it goes And up from the ground it grows Eventually dies so slow That's why I need to know Why won't you give me a reason why? Babe, I'm begging you please Oh, I suppose the redder the rose The many more thorns, baby The more thorns you find I find it hard to face The one rose I put in a vase Not knowing you need more space Reminds me that I can feel Reminds me that I can still heal Cause I smell your fragrance still And I always will Why won't you give me a reason why? Babe, I'm begging you please Oh, I suppose the redder the rose The many more thorns, baby The more thorns you find Won't you give me a reason why? You're making a grown man cry I suppose the redder the rose The many more thorns, baby The more thorns you find They say that real men are not supposed to cry Next time give me fake roses so they'll never die Why won't you give me a reason why? Babe, I'm begging you please Oh, I suppose the redder the rose The many more thorns, baby The more thorns you find Won't you give me a reason why? You're making a grown man cry I suppose the redder the rose The many more thorns, baby The more thorns you find
