She Only Wanted Flowers
That Cadillac in the driveway hasn't moved in 18 days That dresser full of clothes I bought just takes up space And that jewelry on the vanity, it lays around in vain When I look around at all i see, that girl had everything But she only wanted flowers It's the little things that matter All the pretty things money brings, didn't mean a thing to her Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed But I missed the forest for the trees and now I'm sittin' here without her Why couldn't I see, she only wanted flowers The last thing we did together, was tear each other apart Splittin' everything down the middle, from the end back to the start She looked down at that diamond ring and broke down in the hall When her tears fell on the marble, she said baby keep it all 'Cause she only wanted flowers It's the little things that matter All the pretty things money brings, didn't mean a thing to her Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed But I missed the forest for the trees and now I'm sittin' here without her Why couldn't I see, she only wanted flowers She only wanted flowers It's the little things that matter SongtexteAll the pretty things money brings, didn't mean a thing to her Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed But I missed the forest for the trees and now I'm sittin' here without her Why couldn't I see, why couldn't I see She only wanted flowers Aus Songtexte Mania
