Come, let me hold you for a while All you have to do is smile And I'm yours again I may not like some things you do But they're all a part of you And you're my best friend [Chorus] I don't mind the cold when I have a fire to warm me I don't mind the rain 'cause it makes the flowers grow I can take the bad times when you wrap your love around me I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose Stay, we can work the whole thing out That's what love's about And I understand You didn't mean the things you said They're so easy to forget When you take my hand [Chorus] If it was anybody else, I would be gone But you're so beautiful to me, oh that I keep on holding on [Chorus] I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose
