Grow for Me Songtext
von Lee Wilkof

Aw, Twoey
Twoey, I don′t know what else do for ya
Mr. Mushnik and Audrey, they just met ya
But I've been going through this for weeks
Grow and wilt, spurt and flop
Are you sickly, little plant, or are you just stubborn?
What is it you want?
What is it you need?

I′ve given you sunshine
I've given you dirt
You've given me nothing
But heartache and hurt
I′m begging you sweetly
I′m down on my knees
Oh, please, grow for me


I've given you plant food
And water to sip
I′ve given you potash
You've given me zip
Oh, God, how I′ve missed you
Oh, pod, how you tease
Now, please, grow for me

I've given you southern exposure
To get you to thrive
I′ve pinched your back hard
Like I'm s'posed to
You′re barely alive
I′ve tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud!
I've given you grow lites and mineral supplements
What do you want from me, blood?

Ow! Damn roses, damn thorns!
Clumsy me
Hey Twoey, look what happened!
Hey, you opened up
I wonder what made you do that
I think I know what made you do that
Well, I guess a few drops couldn′t hurt
Long as you don't make a habit out of it or anything


I′ve given you sunlight
I've given you rain
Looks like you′re not happy
'Less I open a vein

I'll give you a few drops
If that′ll appease
Now please
Oh please
Ouch!
Grow for me?
