You say you'll do better, then frankly you don't
You only show up at the end of my rope
With lilies and daisies, they used to be nice
But just like my patience, they're starting to die
I bet they think you're nice at the drugstore counter
Little do they know you're just an easy way out and
What you say ain't gonna change how I feel
Your promises are only as real
As fake flowers
Flowers
I'm calling your bluff on them crocodile tears (Ooh)
When you tell me you're sorry, that ain't what I hear
You've bought me two dozen bouquets of red roses (Ooh)
That florist is good, but she can't fix what you've broken
I bet they think you're nice at the drugstore counter
Little do they know you're just an easy way out and
What you say ain't gonna change how I feel
Your promises are only as real
As fake flowers
Flowers
Down on your knees (Ooh)
Begging me please
Well, I ain't that naive (Ooh)
Anymore, anymore, oh
I bet they think you're nice at the drugstore counter
Little do they know you're just an easy way out and
What you say ain't gonna change how I feel
You're acting like it ain't a big deal
But your promises are only as real
As fake flowers
Flowers
So go and march yourself down to the CVS
Fill your buggy up with blues, pinks, yellows, and reds
Either way, they're gonna wind up dead
So you might as well get
A bunch of fake flowers
Flowers
