I Won't Send Roses Songtext
von Jerry Herman

I won′t send roses
Or hold the door
I won't remember
which dress you wore

my heary is too much in control,
the lack of romance in my soul
will turn you gray, kid
so stay away, kid

forget my shoulder
when you′re in need
forgetting birthdays is guaranteed

and should I love you, you would be
the last to know

I won't send roses
and roses suit you so


My pace is frantic
my temper's cross

with words romantic,
I′m at a loss

I′d be the first one to agree,
that I'm preoccupied with me

and it′s inbred, kid
so keep your head, kid
In me you'll find things
like guts and nerve
but not the kind things
that you deserve
and so, while there′s a fighting change
just turn and go
I won't send roses
and roses suit you so
