Flower Girl Lyrics

Yeah, wild nights, long hot days
Love affairs begin this way
And all the girls dance real slow
Lipstick kisses, dirty dreams
Heartbeats faster than a drum machine
Will he be the one to take you home?

I'm floating up into the sky
And everything will be just fine

(chorus)
Here comes that flower girl
With her ice cream eyes and faraway smile
Here comes that flower girl of mine

See-through heart shines in the dark
Forget me not, I hear you laugh
On days like this I'd die for you
Love comes easy; love comes fast
I get so scared that it won't last
What am I supposed to do?

I'm floating up into the sky
And everything will be just fine

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Float up high and float away
Listen to what the flowers say
Float up high and float away
Come again some other day

Passion comes and passion goes
Fades just like a paper rose
All is nothing; nothing's new
From Istanbul to Sugar Hill
Everybody wants the thrill
But all I ever want is you

I'm floating up into the sky
And everyone is floating by

(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

Don't Mess With Doctor Dream

Yeah, wild nights, long hot days
Love affairs begin this way
And all the girls dance real slow
Lipstick kisses, dirty dreams
Heartbeats faster than a drum machine
Will he be the one to take you home?

I'm floating up into the sky
And everything will be just fine

(chorus)
Here comes that flower girl
With her ice cream eyes and faraway smile
Here comes that flower girl of mine

See-through heart shines in the dark
Forget me not, I hear you laugh
On days like this I'd die for you
Love comes easy; love comes fast
I get so scared that it won't last
What am I supposed to do?

I'm floating up into the sky
And everything will be just fine

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Float up high and float away
Listen to what the flowers say
Float up high and float away
Come again some other day

Passion comes and passion goes
Fades just like a paper rose
All is nothing; nothing's new
From Istanbul to Sugar Hill
Everybody wants the thrill
But all I ever want is you

I'm floating up into the sky
And everyone is floating by

(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

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.
