Come let me hold you for awhile,

All you have to do is smile

And I'm yours again

I may not like some things you do

But they're all a part of you

And you're my best friend



(chorus)

I don't mind the cold

When I have a fire to warm me

I don't mind the rain

Cause it makes the flowers grow

I can take the bad times

When you wrap your love around me

I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose



Stay, we can work the whole thing out

That's what loves about

And I understand

You didn't mean the things you said

They're so easy to forget

When you take my hand



(repeat chorus)



If it was anybody else

I would be gone

But you're so beautiful to me

Oh that I keep on holding on



(repeat chorus)



Well, I don't mind the thorns, when you're the rose...
