Flowers Lyrics

I want to buy you flowers
it's such a shame you're a boy
but when you are not a girl
nobody buys you flowers

I want to buy you flowers
and now I'm standing in the shop
I must confess I wonder
if you will like my flowers

You are so sweet and I'm so alone
oh darling please
tell me you're the one
I'll buy you flowers
I'll buy you flowers
like no other girl did before

You were so sweet and I was in love
oh darling don't tell me
you found another girl
forget the flowers
because the flowers
never last for ever
never last for ever
never last for ever
my love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe no one ever commented on this song! It's such a cute one, too. The clip is somehow pretty adorable. And what she sings is true. If you're not a girl no one ever buys you flowers.

Yeah, I think this song is about giving (I would say "losing," but I don't think that fits quite as nicely in the meaning in my mind...) your virginity to someone who you feel might be really special to you(despite them having a little reputation as a player), and then they go and have sex with someone else without caring as much as you did about the whole significant event...

I would quote specific lyrics here, but I think if you just listen to it while thinking about this whole situation, you'll see what I mean. (LOL NOT OVERCONFIDENT AT ALL LOL)
