It’s a beautiful day she’s been crying all night
All these tears in her blue
Bloodshot in mine This bender's been bending
It’s hellbound to break
My baby’s had all she can take
Mister, I’ll take your roses if you cut off the thorns
She can’t take no more
I’ll buy violets and daisies to hide all the crazy
It’s gonna take all you’ve got
Oh, it’s a bad day for love
But a good day for flower shops
Well, I took some pills and she took the dogs out
It’s all gone to hell she’s gone to her mom’s
And I took a drink and since she took the time
To tell me I took the best years of her life
So Buddy, I’ll take your roses if you cut off the thorns
She can’t take no more
I’ll buy violets and daisies to hide all the crazy
It’s gonna take all you’ve got
It’s a tough day for love
But a good day for flower shops
Roses are red, violets are blue
I don't need one, I need one million to
Get you
So Mister, I’ll take your roses if you cut off the thorns
She can’t take no more
I’ll buy violets and daisies to get back my baby
It’s gonna take all you’ve got
Oh, it’s a bad day for love
But a good day for flower shops
