[Spoken: Bret Michaels]
This next one, I'm gonna need everyone to help me sing this out
This is off "Open Up and Say... Ahh!"
This one's called, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," it goes like this

[Verse 1: Bret Michaels]
We both lie silently still in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did?
Did my words not come out right?
Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[Chorus: Bret Michaels]
Every rose has its thorn
Tampa, let me hear you sing it now
Just like (evеry night has its dawn)
(Every cowboy sings a sad, sad song)
(Every rose has its thorn)

[Verse 2: Bret Michaels]
I listеn to our favorite song playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say, "Love's a game of easy come and easy go"
But I wonder, does he know?
Has he ever felt like this?
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I only let you know somehow, I guess
[Chorus: Bret Michaels]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn, do it

[Bridge: Bret Michaels]
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you, the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Bret Michaels]
I know I could have saved a love that night if I'd known what to say
Instead of making love, we both made our separate ways
But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess

[Chorus: Bret Michaels]
Every rose has its thorn
Help me out now
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song, Lord
Every rose has its—, yeah
