It's a beautiful day, she's been crying all night Ah, there's tears in her blue, bloodshot in mine This bender's been bending, it's hellbound to break My baby's had all she can take Mister, I'll take your roses If you cut off the thorns, she can't take no more I'll buy violets and daisies to hide all the crazy It's gonna take all you've got Ah, it's a bad day for love But a good day for flower shops Well, I took some pills and she took the dogs Ah, it's all gone to hell, she's gone to her mom's And I took up drinkin' since she took the time To tell me I took the best years of her life So buddy, I'll take your roses If you cut off the thorns, she can't take no more I'll buy violets and daisies to hide all the crazy It's gonna take all you got It's a tough day for love But a good day for flower shops Roses are red, violets are blue I don't need one, I need one million to get you So mister, I'll take your roses If you cut off the thorns, she can't take no more I'll buy violets and daisies to get back my baby It's gonna take all you've got Ah, it's a bad day for love But a good day for flower shops
