A Rose By Any Other Name

Gerald Levert & Teena Marie

Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain

Can you call a rose by any other name?

Gerald

Just this morning I took a stroll through your garden

I watched the sunrise and it made me think of you

The way you talk to the flowers and make them grow

And in the middle of all these flowers

There's one single stem red rose

It stood out from the rest the fairest of them all

It made me think of what you asked me

Can you call a rose by any other name?

Lady your body moves like poetry

Like a diamond in the raw

You shine for me

No one else can hold her hand up to you girl

Cause you're everything I need in my world lady

Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain

Can you call a rose by any other name

Here inside your garden it's like I feel unchanged

Can you call a rose by any other name?

Gerald

Take your time

Teena

In there, I got a song for you boy

Telling the world about the joy inside my garden

In the shade baby

Cause my world was spinning round

Until you made my love come down never gonna let you go

No, I never gonna let you go

Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain

Can you call a rose by any other name

Here inside your garden it's like I feel unchanged

Can you call a rose by any other name?

Anything you want

[G:] Anything you want

[T:] Anything you want

Can you call a rose by any other name?

Say

There's one thing [3x]

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose

There's no other flower in my heart that grows

[G:] A rose is a rose

[T:] A rose is a rose

[G:] My flower

[T:] My rose, my flower

[G:] Growing, growing, growing, baby

[T:] Yes you are
