Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
But not as sweet as you
Roses are red and
Violets are blue.

Ad id aid id mud
Ad id aid id mud

Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

Come pick my Roses!

Sweet from the flowers
Honey from the bees
I've got a feeling,
I'm ready to release

Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
But not as sweet as you.

It's invisible but, so touchable
And I can feel it on my body,
So emotional.
I'm on a ride, on a ride

I'm a passenger.
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger.

Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
The only thing he said was
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

And roses are red.
Come with me baby,
Please fulfill my wish
Show it to me truly,

Show me with a kiss.
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,

But not as sweet as you.
It's invisible but, so touchable
And I can feel it on my body,
So emotional.

I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger.
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger.

Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

The only thing he said was
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
And roses are red.

Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

The only thing he said was
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Ad id aid id mud
Ad id aid id mud
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

Don't take my roses away!
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

The only thing he said was
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
And roses are red.

Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da

The only thing you said was
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
Dumb di dia di da
My roses are red.

Oooh oooh oooh, yeah!
Ad id aid id mud

    This seems like its about an orgasm. I've been reading all Aqua's lyrics and I am suprised that they are all actually about stuff. I always thought they were about nothing. But then again, I never really listened to Aqua.

    LMAO, I agree. This song always did remind me vaguely of like, an orgasm. And the male voice always cracks me up for some reason. Very catchy though.

    Actually, quite a few of Aqua's songs have an underlying sexual meaning if you read the lyrics right. Re-read the lyrics for Barbie Girl thinking what I just wrote and you'll understand what I mean. This song is the same way. It absolutely has deeper sexual meaning. "I'm a victim of a hard love messenger"? Come on, what do you think it means? :)

    Yea.. This song is definitely sexual. Whatever gotan said up there made so sense at all, lol. But anyways, this song is pretty sweet (as are all Aqua songs). The beginning is the best, when he's like "come pick my roses" and then there's that little techo/dance beat playing. That part makes me wanna dance. :]

    I honestly believe that this song is about sex. "My Roses are red"... Yeah, I mean, I've used the term "Come Pick my Flower" before to my last ex on the phone. And I highly agree that this song is about having an orgasm. But, also, I was wondering if it could be a song about virginity, in a way. "Don't Take My Roses Away!" But, that could also mean "Don't stop, don't take this away!" This is a wonderful song to move your body to, though.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
