" Are you afraid to touch me, darlin’? Are you afraid you’ll burn? You’ll have to get in line, darlin’ You’ll have to wait your turn Yeah everybody wants me, darlin’ But one day you’ll finally learn I only ever wanted you Because, baby, I’m a badass rose Baby, I’m the kind that grows Stronger when it storms And weaker in your arms I might cut you, make you bleed But I’m all you’ll ever need Don’t give up on me Oh, don’t give up on me "
