If you need a reason why I'm walkin' away
Well, I've got a dozen and you brought bouquets
Every time you messed up, got mad and got mean
They don't work like they used to on me

Daisies won't make me give a damn
And tulips won't dry up these tears
And roses are tried and they're true, but I'm through
Forgivin' you for all of the times
You put me through hell, kept me cryin' for hours
I'll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers

Every new promise is a new one you'll brеak
Soon after comes "sorry" and a note on a vasе
They show up and they bloom for five or six days
It's funny how you do the same

But daisies won't make me give a damn
And tulips won't dry up the tears
Now roses are tried and they're true, but I'm through
Forgivin' you for all of the times
You put me through hell, kept me cryin' for hours
I'll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers
Keep the flowers, keep me in the back of your mind
Hope the next girl don't mind a damn garden inside

But daisies won't make me give a damn
And tulips won't dry up these tears
Now roses are tried and they're true, but I'm through
Forgivin' you for all of the times
You put me through hell, kept me cryin' for hours
I'll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers

Honey, just keep the flowers
Keep the flowers
