David Adam Byrnes - She Only Wanted Flowers lyrics

rate me

That Cadillac in the driveway hadn’t moved in 18 days

That dresser full of clothes I bought just takes up space

That jewelry on the vanity just lays around in vain

When I look around at all I see, the girl had everything.

Chorus

She only wanted flowers

It’s the little things that matter

All the pretty things that money bring

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 couldn't I see she only wanted flowers

Last thing we did together was tear each other apart

Splitting everything down the middle

From the end back to the start

She looked at that diamond ring broke down in the hall

When her tears fell on the marble, she said, ‘baby keep it all’!

Chorus (x2)

Cause she only wanted flowers,

It’s the little things that matter

All the pretty things that money bring

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 couldn't I see she only wanted flowers

Yeah, she only wanted flowers
