Abbey Lincoln

Tender as a Rose
She was as tender as a roseShe was as soft as snowy downAnd from her head down to her toesShe was a dream that hung aroundShe was as fresh as AprilWarm as mayAnd all the fellas threw their hearts awayBut all of her lovin' was Joe?s she was as tender as a roseI guess that Joe was pretty sickHis feelings went from cold to hotHer love to him was just a kickHis ego needed her a lotAnd when he took her away she wore a smileFate crossed its fingers for that lovely childCause all of her lovin' was Joe'sShe was as tender as a roseShe came back walking all aloneShe wasn't gone for very longSongtexteShe came back with a heart of stoneWe knew that everything had gone wrongAnd when you ask her why she's out each nightShe'll say, "Brother, once I tried to be rightOnce all of my loving was Joe'sI was as tender as a rose."She was as tender as a rose
