I'M SENDING  YOU A BIG BOUQUET OF ROSES

DLS   11-5-2000

I'M SENDING YOU A BIG BOUQUET OF ROSES,

ONE FOR EVERY TIME YOU BROKE MY HEART.

AND AS THE DOOR OF LOVE BETWEEN US CLOSES,

TEARS WILL FALL LIKE PETALS WHEN WE PART.

I BEGGED YOU TO BE DIFFERENT,

BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE UNTRUE.

I'M TIRED OF FORGIVING,

NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO DO.

SO, I'M SENDING YOU A BIG BOUQUET OF ROSES,

ONE FOR EVERY TIME YOU BROKE MY HEART.

I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HATE YOU,

AFTER ALL YOU'VE PUT ME THROUGH.

BUT HOW CAN I BE BITTER,

WHEN I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU?

SO, I'M SENDING YOU A BIG BOUQUET OF ROSES,

ONE FOR EVERY TIME YOU BROKE MY HEART.
