Roses Songtext
von Thomas Oliver

Little girl got roses, yeah, yeah, yeah
And she only want roses, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don′t wanna get on up, she'll stay right there
She′ll sit alone and stare at the
Bright red roses, yeah (mm, hmm) (yeah)

Schoolyard's a crazy cruel place, mm
Especially for a tender-hearted girl
Who's a little bit bigger than the other kids
With metal on her teeth behind her lips
And glasses to magnify her lonely eyes, yeah

So she found a little spot at the bottom of the tree (mm)
Ain′t nobody ever wanna go and talk to her here (no)
So she spent her days gazin′
Through that fence, they look amazin'
Out of reach, but oh, so sweet
Shinin′ beauty, bright red bloomin'


Roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
She found a friend in the roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
She don′t wanna get on up, she'll stay right there
She′ll sit alone and stare every day at the roses, yeah, yeah

Then one day when she was 16
She walked behind her old school
And she would finally hold for real
Those roses, those roses, yeah (finally hold them roses)
They shone bright and true as ever
She held out her gentle hand and then they cut her
Oh, now she's bleedin', oh

She says the sweetest things in life are gonna hurt you
She says the sweetest things in life are gonna hurt you

Now she′s 29 and so fine (so fine)
A montage of curves and lines, perfect design (blow your mind)
With eyes like a window to another world (yeah)
A smile that make you never want another girl
With the greatest lesson life has taught her
Finely drawn on her body all covered in

Roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
Damn, she′s deadly, roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
She don't wanna get on up (get on up), she′ll stay right there
And damn, I just wanna stare at her bright red roses (yeah)


But I just wanna grow her roses (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I just wanna grow her roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
'Cause I just wanna show her that
Everything she gets close with (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don′t have to leave her feelin' broken (roses) (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I just want her to know that

That I just wanna grow her roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I just wanna grow her roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I just wanna grow her roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
I just wanna grow her roses (roses)
Yeah, I just wanna grow her roses (roses), yeah, yeah, yeah
I just wanna grow her roses (roses)

Roses
Roses
Roses
Roses
Well, I think I wanna be her roses
