She Only Wanted Flowers
That Cadillac in the driveway, hadn't move in 18 days,
That dresser full of clothes I bought, it just takes up space
That jewelry on the vanity, lays around in vain
When I look around at all I see, the girl had everything.
But she only wanted flowers,
It's the little things that matter,
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her!
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed,
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her,
Why I could not see?
She only wanted flowers!
The last thing we did together was tear each other apart,
Splitting everything down the middle
From the end back to the start.
She looked down at that diamond ring and broke down in the hall
When her tears fell on that marble, she said, "Baby keep it all!"
Cause she only wanted flowers,
It's the little things that matter,
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her!
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed,
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her,
Why I could not see?
She only wanted flowers!
Cause she only wanted flowers,
It's the little things that matter,
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her!
I gave her what I thought she needed,
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her,
Why I could not see?
Why I could not see?
She only wanted flowers.
That dresser full of clothes I bought, it just takes up space
That jewelry on the vanity, lays around in vain
When I look around at all I see, the girl had everything.
But she only wanted flowers,
It's the little things that matter,
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her!
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed,
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her,
Why I could not see?
She only wanted flowers!
The last thing we did together was tear each other apart,
Splitting everything down the middle
From the end back to the start.
She looked down at that diamond ring and broke down in the hall
When her tears fell on that marble, she said, "Baby keep it all!"
Cause she only wanted flowers,
It's the little things that matter,
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her!
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed,
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her,
Why I could not see?
She only wanted flowers!
Cause she only wanted flowers,
It's the little things that matter,
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her!
I gave her what I thought she needed,
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her,
Why I could not see?
Why I could not see?
She only wanted flowers.
