Every Rose Has It's Thorn é um single do álbum Open Up and Say...Ahh!, de 1988, da banda de Glam Metal norte-americana, Poison.

A power ballad conquistou o 1º lugar no Top Nacional dos Estados Unidos, na véspera de Natal de 1988. Permaneceu na posição durante 3 semanas. Conquistou, também, a 13ª posição no top nacional Britânico.

Foi distinguida pela Vh1 como a 34ª melhor música dos anos 80, a 100ª melhor música de amor de sempre e a 7ª melhor Power Ballad, respetivamente, nos tops, 100 Greatest Songs Of The 80's, 100 Greatest Love Songs  e Top 25 Power Ballads.

A música foi composta por Bret Michaels (vocalista da banda) que disse, em entrevista à Vh1, que ganhou inspiração numa noite em que esperava pelas suas roupas numa lavandaria. Disse que, enquanto esperava, chamou a namorada por um telefone público e, enquanto falava com ela, ouviu do outro lado uma voz masculina. Bret entrou na lavandaria de novo e escreveu a letra.

O Videoclip Oficial:

A Letra:


We both lies silently still
In the dead of the night.
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

(Chorus:)
Every rose has it's thorn
Justi like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad, song
Every rose has it's thorn

Yea it does

I listen to our favourite song
Playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess

(Chorus)

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you
The would heals, but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved the love that night
If I'd know what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

(Chorus)
