Roses Of Red Lyrics

Roses Of Red
lead vocal: Maite Kelly
(emu)

Roses of red fall on my head
He smiled then turned away
Roses of red grow in my heart
They bloom when he passes me by

‘Cause he he makes me happy
And he he makes me fly
Oh oh oh …
I bloom when he passes me by
If you want paradise
Then look at my eyes
I’m as clear as the sky when it’s blue
If you want paradise
Then look at me twice
‘Cause I’m not a normal red rose

And he he makes me crazy
And he he makes me fly
Oh oh oh …
I bloom when he passes me by

I know that he doesn’t know me
He’s just too different no no
I know he knows and he knows I know
We’re just too different no no

Roses of red fall on my head
He smiled then turned away
Roses of red fall in my heart
They bloom when he passes me by
Oh oh oh …
I bloom when he passes me by
Oh oh oh …
Smiled and turned away

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.

Just a nice song about a girl having a crush on a (propably a few years older) guy. Deeper meaning apparently is that love is not bounded to any social conventions, when you fall in love, you fall in love, but if you do and the society convention doesnt allow this love, you have to keep it a secret.
