You're trying my patience, try pink carnations
Red roses and yellow daffodils
Don't forget the flowers, someday, I know you will

Displayers of affection and all good intentions,
Why don't you just send me the bill
Don't forget the flowers, someday, I know you will

Lately you've been taking me
Way too seriously, oh
I can't ever explain why
I don't feel your pain, oh

I left you behind, I know it's been a long time
But I'm not over you
Don't forget the flowers, someday, I hope I do

You're tryin' my patience, try pink carnations
Red roses and yellow daffodils
Don't forget the flowers, someday
I know I will

Don't forget the flowers, someday
I know I will

    she got over the break up first... he knows she'll forget the flowers and hopes he will... by the end he KNOWS he will... I'm surprised not more people have commented, this is one of my favs, it's my ringback on my cell phone
