You Want Hearts And Flowers by The Originals Lyrics
[Intro]
(Bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum)
[Verse 1]
It's only a week that I haven't been with you
In those seven days, I've decided that we're through
Too many feelings of anxiety, much too hard to keep my sanity
Again we meet, and I call by your tone that you feel very much alone
[Chorus]
You want hearts and flowers
You crave sympathy
But too many times (Too many times)
You turned your back on me (Girl)
That sadness in your eyes (Sadness in your eyes)
But it's just your loss of pride
It took me a while, but now I realise (I re, realise)
[Verse 2]
I was but a fool to think you could ever love one man
The hurt that you put on me is more than any human can stand
Now, I rеfuse to be a fool for you
The hurt you causеd me was much too cruel
Where you're concerned, I've never been untrue
But I can't say the same for you
[Chorus]
You want hearts and flowers
You crave sympathy
But too many times (Too many times)
You've turned your back on me
That sadness in your eyes (Sadness in your eyes)
But it's just your loss of pride
It took me a while, but now I realise (But I finally, finally realise)
[Bridge]
If there was love ever locked inside your heart
It never had a chance to run free
Somewhere along the line, you were hurt
Then you locked your heart, and threw away the key
Now you say you're sorry, and you'll never hurt me again
But I can't believe this is what you'll do, 'cause you've already been untrue
[Chorus]
You want hearts and flowers (You want hearts and flowers)
You crave sympathy (You crave my sympathy)
But too many times (But too many times, girl)
You've turned your back on me (You've turned your back on me)
That sadness in your eyes (But tell me, tell me, tell me the real reason, baby)
But it's just your loss of pride (That you're back knocking at my door)
It took me a while, but now I realise (Did somebody hurt you like you hurt me before)
You want hearts and flowers (I don't want you back, baby)
You crave sympathy (I refuse to give you sympathy)
But too many times (Just look back at all the times)
You've turned your back on me (You've turned your, turned your back on me)
That sadness in your eyes (I don't want you, baby)
But it's just your loss of pride (I don't need you, baby)
(Bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum)
