Nobody Hugs A Rose lyrics

Song information

Artist: Cool Hand Luke
Album: Wake Up O Sleeper

Lyrics

She cannot see the ocean
For the trees that block the way
She cannot see forever 'cause
She cant see past today
She's driving home so empty
From another one night stand
With a guy who doesnt care
But just wants to feel like a man
If only falling in love was as easy making it

But
Nobody hugs a rose (3x)
She's all alone 'cause nobody hugs a rose

She has no ring to speak of
Save the one her daddy left
He stepped out of her life
Leaving some jewelry on a shelf
Seems like every man she loves ends up walking away

'Cause
Nobdy hugs a rose (3x)
She's all alone 'cause nobody hugs rose

There's never been a prettier soul
No, theres never been a lovelier rose
But she can never wipe away all her tears
She cries herself to sleep and
Wakes up to the same old fears
She only needs someone to hold to her right now
A man who would wear those thorns like a crown

She steps into the bedroom
And falls onto the floor
She cries out to her savior
That she just cant take no more
Jesus says "girl I've been waiting
For this very day
When I could pick you up and strip those dirty thorns away."
Nevermore will she think in her old futile ways

That
Nobody hugs a rose (3x)
She's not alone, 'cause somebody loved a rose
