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

The schoolyard’s a crazy-cruel place
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

So she found a little spot at the bottom of a tree
Ain’t nobody ever wanna go and talk to her here
So she spent her days gazin’
Through that fence, they look amazing
Out of reach but oh so sweet
Shining beauty
Bright red blooming

Roses, yeah, yeah, yeah
She found a friend in the 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

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
They shone red and true as ever
She held out her gentle hand and then they
Cut her
Now she’s bleeding

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
A montage of curves and lines; perfect design; blow your mind
With eyes like a window to another world
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, yeah, yeah, yeah
Damn, she's deadly
Roses, yeah, yeah, yeah
She don’t wanna get on up
She’ll stay right there
And damn, I just want to stare
At her bright red roses, yeah

But I just wanna grow her roses, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I just wanna grow her roses, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause I just wanna show her that
Everything she gets close with
Don't have to leave her feeling broken
Yeah, I just want her to know this

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

Well, I think I wanna be her roses.
