Cut Flowers - The Smithereens

Sentimental gestures never

Meant that much to me

But if I had her here today

I’d shed a tear for all the world to see

Cut flowers sent

To a girl with sentimental ways

Cut flowers meant

More to her on ordinary days

A gentle girl who needed

All the love I had to give

But I was blind to her and would not

Give her what she needed most to live

Cut flowers sent

To a girl with sentimental ways

Cut flowers meant

More to her on ordinary days

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

Cut flowers pressed between the pages

Of a book she gave (She gave to me)

I go to her and say, «I'm sorry»

Then I put cut flowers on her grave

Cut flowers sent

To a girl with sentimental ways

Cut flowers meant

More to her on ordinary days

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
