Buttercups Songtext
von Fran Healy

It never rains but it pours
Do keep the wolf from the door
I see him sitting in silence
Outside my house
Quiet as a mouse
I tried to buy you roses
But all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring
I′d wear it through my nose
Oh but I can't dance and I can′t sing
A loser, I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
You said to have and to hold
Do let me in from the cold
I see you sitting in silence
Inside your house
And quiet as a mouse


I tried to buy you roses
But all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring
I'd wear it through my nose
Oh but I can't dance and I can′t sing
A loser, I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
And this could be life as we know it
How can I see if you never show it
I tried to buy you roses
But all the stores were closed
I tried to buy you roses
But all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring
I′d wear it through my nose
Oh but I can't dance and I can′t sing
A loser, I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows, who knows
Who knows, who knows
