You don't have to bring me flowers Won't you just let me be 'Cause every time you try to woo me it wounds me Don't leave no flowers here for me It looks like the moonlight has left I don't see much magic ahead Tryna say you're sorry with whiskey on your breath Is like tryna clear the smoke with cigarettes You don't have to bring me flowers I'll just leave 'em here for dead 'Cause when the scent goes sour I'm relivin' All the hours you spent losin' me instead I think a little sunlight will do To help me clear my head of you 'Cause tryna say it's over while I'm layin' in your bed Is like letting go with honey on my hands You don't have to bring me flowers I'm just begging you to leave Go ahead and call me coward but finally Your power has lost its hold on me (Ooh-ooh, ooh) I'm letting go (Ooh-ooh, ooh) I'm letting go (Ooh-ooh, ooh) I'm letting go Ooh, won't you let me go? If you're gonna bring me flowers Leave them on a memory Here lies the love we had together And it's better if we let it rest in peace Won't you let it rest in peace Don't leave no flowers here for me Don't leave no flowers here for me
