Lyrics
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you so
I only leave my house when I have somewhere to go
I only stop for petrol when I find I'm running low
I only buy birthday cards for people that I know
and I only bought you flowers because I love you so
When you get home and you walk through the door (walk through the door)
You can't believe that I have sent you some more
Oh yeah (oh yeah) it is expensive (oh yeah), but you're worth it don't you know
and I'll keep on sending flowers because I love you so
Roses are red (roses are red) and violets are blue (so blue)
Foxgloves and magnolias can bloom in any hue
I don't claim to be an expert but there is one thing I know
A pretty bunch of flowers always says I love you so
Please say to me (please please please please say) the words I need to hear
I'm fairly sure you like me oh but still I live in fear
and I promise that I'll love you 'til the stars refuse to glow
and I'll keep on buying flowers until you tell me that you know
Snow drops growing in the wood
Daffodils and maples say more than I ever could
I tend to play it safe and I stick to what I know
A dozen dark red roses clearly say (I love you so)
Without you I don't think my heart would be
Anything worth keeping so I'd just throw it in the sea
I need to see you smiling 'cause I'm feeling really low
That's why I bought you flowers well that and 'cause I love you so
I love you
I love you
I love you
i love you so
it isn't hard to find a pretty bunch
you can buy them from the market when you pop out for your lunch
you can buy them on the platform when you're waiting in the snow
and coming home with flowers lets her know you love her so
a friend of mine - she's from Romania (yeah!)
yeah a guy turned up at her doorstep with a nice azalea
she said something in her native tongue what it meant he didn't know
but i think he got the message 'cause he still loves her so
exotic plants - they love hot and humid weather
it doesn't matter where you live - the scots have got their heather
the only people with no flowers are perhaps the eskimos
and i think they say i love you by rubbing each others' nose (aww!)
love love love
love love me
and i'll love you
my heart is true
and maybe one day many years from now
perhaps you'll be a hundred if god above allows
but if you're not then to the florist i will go
and i'll keep on buying flowers 'cause i'll still love you so
well i wont cry (no cryin') as i lay them beneath your name (oh my lord)
for you'll be with me you'll be with me still the same
i'll think of how you smile for me and tears will start to flow
but i'll be happy knowing in this place one day flowers new will grow
everything that blossoms must one day die you know
and i'll always buy you flowers 'cause i'll always love you so
my life's a total mystery but there is one thing i know
i only bought you flowers because i love you so
(i love you so)
