Artist/Band: Abbey Lincoln
Lyrics for Song: Tender As A Rose
Lyrics for Album: That's Him! [2007]



She was as tender as a rose

She was as soft as snowy down

And from her head down to her toes

She was a dream that hung around



She was as fresh as april

Warm as may

And all the fellas threw their hearts away

But all of her lovin was Joe's she was as tender as a rose



I guess that Joe was pretty sick

His feelings went from cold to hot

Her love to him was just a kick

His ego needed her a lot



And when he took her away she wore a smile

Fate crossed its fingers for that lovely child



Cause all of her lovin' was Joe's

She was as tender as a rose



She came back walking all alone

She wasn't gone for very long

She came back with a heart of stone

We knew that everything had gone wrong



And when you ask her why she's out each night

She'll say, "Brother, once I tried to be right

once all of my loving was Joe's

I was as tender as a rose."

She was as tender as a rose
