Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine

And many times her eyes fought back the tears, Lord, Lord

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears

[Verse 2]

And a sorrow no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence, in her ears

[Verse 3]

Let her cry, for she's a lady

Let her dream, for she is a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

[Verse 4]

And if by chance I should hold her

Let me hold her for a time

And if allowed just one possession

I would pick her from the garden to be mine

Baby, baby

[Verse 5]

Be careful how you touch her, she will awaken

And sleep the only freedom, all that she knows, Lord, Lord

And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe

The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes

[Verse 6]

And the silent wind still blows

But only she can hear, so she goes

[Verse 7]

Let her cry, for she's a lady

Let her dream, for she is my child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

[Verse 8]

She is my flower growing wild, yeah

Oh, she's my flower, she's growing wild, y'all, yeah

[Verse 9]

Sit down, baby, and let me rap to you for a second

You see, I know you have it hard, sometimes

Or when you feel like you need me, you can call me

You see, because I'll be somewhere around

You see, not only that

You see, I'll be your bridge over troubled waters

You see, the reason why I say this, baby

Is because I love you, girl

I love you so much, sometime I can't even explain

You see, you're like a flower that blooms in any season

And that's why I'd like to say

[Verse 10]

You're my flower, baby

You're my flower, ooh, baby

A flower

You're my flower, flower

It's you, baby

It's you

It's you, baby, baby

It's you, baby

It's you, it's you, baby

Girl, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you, baby

You're my flower

It's you, baby

You, you, you, you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you, I love you, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, baby

Hey, yeah, baby

You're my flower, and I do love you

I gotta have you, I just love you

Sweeter than honey, baby

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I just love you, baby

Baby, baby
