Dozen Roses Songtext
von Kofi Stone

(Roses)
(I need some roses)
(The joy of roses) um
Makes you smile
Is exactly what I′m gonna do
Yeah
(I need some)
(The joy of roses)
Yeah (I need some)

Roses are red, I'm tryna lay you on a bed of roses
I′m tryna write your name in roses, you deserve some roses
That's exactly what the goal is, baby, you're the coldest
Was tryna hold myself together but it seems I folded
You ask me what′s the motive, only need your love in doses
What I really loved the most is when we were the closest
Just let me hold your hand, what you tryna show your man?
The way you′re looking right now, I'm tryna show the fam


I wanna know your fam, tryna get acquainted with ′em
Don't get the sheets wet, baby, that was Asian linen
No need to change position, I′m just tryna raise your vision
So you can see that there's a million different ways of kissing
No need to stay efficient, you were like the main addition
Not tryna make you listen but there′s many ways of fishing
I'm here to save the mission, this is how it's meant to be
Baby, when you think of roses, remember me

I′m waiting at your door with a dozen roses (roses)
It′s clear that I'm the one, even your mother knows this (knows this)
Sent you money for your nails, you got them color-coded (uh)
Remember we was taking selfies, had a bunch of poses

I′m waiting at your door with a dozen roses (roses)
It's clear that I′m the one, even your mother knows this (knows this)
Sent you money for your nails, you got them color-coded (uh)
Remember we was taking selfies, had a bunch of poses

Even your mother knows it, that's a big sign
I′d walk a hundred thousand miles on an incline
Just to give you one more kiss, one more gift
I could check off my list of gifts I had to give ya
I got a whole list ready for when it's time
I'm in love with those lips, those big eyes, those big sh-


But nothing beats what′s inside (nothing)
Which part? Your heart, that big mind (everything)
You′re my hearth, the spark that gives life
We just fit right like Yankees and pinstripes
And I'ma met with I′ma act like it don't fit nice
Like we met in a past life, but in this life

I′m really tryna get right, so let's try (try)
When you wake, I′ll be ready with an egg fried
And when you get back home from work, be waiting with a chilled wine
And when you're ill, I'll help you heal ′til you feel fine
Last chat, haven′t laughed like that since maybe ever
And the perspective that you gave me, it made me better
I just wanna say it was my greatest pleasure
In front of every step you take, I'll be there laying petals

I′m waiting at your door with a dozen roses
It's clear that I′m the one, even your mother knows this
Sent you money for your nails, you got them color-coded (uh)
Remember we was taking selfies, had a bunch of poses

I'm waiting at your door with a dozen roses (roses)
It′s clear that I'm the one, even your mother knows this (knows this)
Sent you money for your nails, you got them color-coded (uh)
Remember we was taking selfies, had a bunch of poses

Yeah, roses, roses
Roses, roses
Hey Kofi, thank you so much for the flowers
They're beautiful, it really made my day
