"Here you go, i got you a rose."
I said to the boy down the street.
He looked at me kinda funny.
I don't think he found it sweet.
So i took it back from him,
I gave it to somebody new
who gave it to somebody else
and the massage never got through.
I grew another lovely red rose.
I gave it to my best friend one day.
She loved the gesture but not the flower
so when i went home she threw it away.
Another rose sprouted in my garden,
I liked a guy so when it was in bloom
I gave it to him, he liked the smell,
he only used it to make a perfume.
And just the other day i looked outside
where another beautiful rose just grew.
I thought I'd just keep this one for me
But i decided I'll give this one to you.
I hope that you like my gift of love,
and i really hope that you can see
that even if you throw away the rose,
nothing has to change
between you and me.
